Hot Girl Murder Club : A crackling feminist revenge thriller for Summer 2026

''As bold and biting as its title... Winstead is a master of smart, compulsive suspense'' JENEVA ROSE

From INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING author Ashley Winstead comes a buzzy, bloody new thriller about success, sisterhood, and demanding justice… by any means necessary.

Wronged women always want revenge. But how far is too far?

When powerful men begin turning up dead across Los Angeles, suspicion falls on emerging pop star Scout Sage. Still haunted by her sister’s mysterious death, Scout faces the collapse of her career, her reputation, and her tenuous belief in justice.

Assigned to the case is Detective Grey Holloway, whose own history sharpens every judgement. As Grey digs deeper, she uncovers whispers of the so-called Hot Girl Murder Club – a covert sisterhood of ambitious women rising through Hollywood. Women who are done waiting for the men in charge to deliver what''s right, bent instead on taking it for themselves.

But are they correcting a broken system - or creating a far more dangerous one?
