From national bestselling author Ashley Winstead comes a buzzy, bloody new thriller about success, sisterhood, and demanding justice…by any means necessary.
What’s a girl got to do to get some fame, a few million record sales, and justice for murder?
Ten years ago, aspiring singer-actress Scout Sage lost the only thing that mattered: her sister, Georgia. Ever since Georgia’s mysterious death at a Hollywood party, Scout’s done her best to honor her memory, clawing her way through the industry and collecting a network of climbers along the way, fellow hot girls in stilettos with cutthroat ambition, a new Hollywood order.
But when a slew of targeted murders makes headlines across LA, all pointing to Scout as the killer, she turns overnight from a mid-tier pop star into the world’s most famous (alleged) murderer. Now everything she’s worked to build—including the justice she wants for Georgia—will fall apart unless Scout can prove she’s not guilty.
Meanwhile, the young and unusual detective assigned to her case, herself no stranger to tragedy, begins to unearth secrets not even Scout knows, let alone her millions of new fans. Particularly about the ways Georgia’s death connects to an even older pattern of crimes long hushed over in Hollywood—an old reign of terror that, if brought to light, could be the fuel that ignites a reckoning the world over.

Scout and Isabelle are best friends who leave their small town to head to LA. Scout becomes famous and Isabelle becomes her assistant. Rumors begin that there is a group of women in Hollywood that are holding men accountable for their bad behavior. Scout and her group of fans believe that she is the brains behind this vigilante group. In the meantime, Grey is a detective who is also trying to figure out what happened to her sister, Alice, after leaving a late-night club. Did she meet one of these men at the club? The two storylines intersect and the reader must decide if following the law is the right way to dispense justice or should women take the revenge by their own hand?

February 4, 2026Hot Girl Murder Club by Ashley Winstead published by St. Martin's Press is a riveting, literally unputdownable story and deserves all the stars.
I just wanted to take apeek at the story but I was so enthralled, I read the book cover to cover in one sitting, unable to put it down.
I loved the storyline, the twists and unexpected turns at every corner.
Loved the chracters.
Scout is a singer/actress who lost her sister 10 years ago. She's honoring her memory and finding hints of what happened to her. And soon she's in danger too, becomes a suspect in other grisly cases. Al I'm saying, don't walk, run to get this gem of a story.
