Summary

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SWEET LITTLE LIES COMES A DARK AND TWISTY THRILLER ABOUT SECRETS, LIES AND REVENGE.

ONE WOMAN'S SECRET
TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY
THREE DEADLY BETRAYALS
FOUR POTENTIAL SUSPECTS
FIVE BAD DEEDS

‘A big high five for Caz Frear’s Five Bad Deeds - a page-gripping, nail-gnawing good read’ Cara Hunter

'A deliciously dark story of how one woman’s life of seemingly domestic bliss can unravel faster than she ever thought possible. I predict it will be one of the big hits of 2024 - I loved it' Nikki Smith

'Deliciously waspish, twisty, and relatable' Claire McGowan

Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . .

Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail declaring:

SOONER OR LATER EVERYONE SITS DOWN TO A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES.

Why would someone send her this note? Ellen has no clue. She's no angel - a white lie here and there, an occasional sharp tongue - but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy.
Everyone around Ellen - her husband, her teenage daughter, her sister, her best friend, her neighbours - can guess why, though. They all know from bitter experience that while Ellen’s intentions are always good, this ultimately counts for very little when you’ve (unintentionally?) blown up someone’s life. Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?

As she races to discover who’s set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more anonymous messages, each one more threatening than the last . . . and each hitting closer and closer to home and everything she cherishes.

‘Brilliant . . . so clever and the characters felt real. Whip smart and perfectly executed’ C J Tudor
'Five Bad Deeds is ferociously entertaining, spiky, bitchy, funny - and absolutely messed with my head in the most fun way. Bravo, Frear!' Catherine Ryan Howard
'A dark, addictive, suburban nightmare. Five Bad Deeds is an edge of your seat, up all night delight' Chris Whitaker
'Caz Frear is on fire! Five Bad Deeds is an absolute scorcher with a moral message about the effect of our actions on others at its dark and thrilling heart' Victoria Selman

a good listen, ended too fast

I loved the story and the build up, it felt a good pace and I liked the shorter chapters to be able to dip in and out. when it gets towards the end, I just wanted a bit more depth and detail, felt like an ending that happened too quickly, I felt there was a lot more exploration of the characters to be done. would definitely recommend though

Best book I have listened to in ages. Great storyline keeps you guessing. I have listened to books by this author before and really enjoyed the style of writing. Excellent narration

It comes together in the end,

I previously really enjoyed a book by Caz Frear so was disappointed at the slow start. Initially abandoned it but returned and pleased I did as the story unfolds well and is engaging.
