About this listen

Gold. Theft. Murder.

A road trip to die for.

Charlie and Nao are strangers from different sides of the tracks. They should never have met, but one devastating incident binds them together forever.

A man is dead, and now they are unwilling accomplices in his murder. There's only one thing to do: hit the road in the victim's twin cab ute, with a bag of stolen gold stashed under the passenger seat.

Suddenly outlaws, Nao and Charlie must make their way across Australia's remote outback using only their wits to survive. They'll do whatever it takes to evade capture and escape with their lives....

Thelma and Louise for a new generation, No Country for Girls is a gritty, twisty road-trip thriller that follows two young women on the run across the harsh, unforgiving landscape of Australia.

Critic reviews

Bold and badass, No Country For Girls is the kind of searingly stylish, unrelenting page-turner I just adore. I burned through the twisting plot almost as fast as Charlie and Nao light up the Australian outback' (CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END)
A thrilling cat-and-mouse pursuit through West Australia's Badlands . . . It left me breathless (ALEX MARWOOD, author of THE WICKED GIRLS)
Fresh as hell with two strikingly original protagonists who blaze a thrilling trail through the outback. Not just a terrific debut, a terrific book full stop (TREVOR WOOD, author of THE MAN ON THE STREET)
Razor-sharp wit meets pumping action, with twists and turns to keep the pages turning! No Country for Girls is the road trip for our time; relevant, powerful and unrelentingly entertaining . . . Welcome Emma Styles. We didn't know how much we needed you until you came (FEMI KAYODE, author of LIGHTSEEKERS)
A taut, evocative and utterly absorbing road-trip thriller about two young women on the run for their lives, both caught up in a landscape as full of threat and danger as the people who are after them. Unputdownable (JACOB ROSS, author of BLACK RAIN FALLING)
A unique voice, compelling protagonists, and a dizzyingly wild and gripping ride that grabs you by the throat - this is outback Australia like you've never seen it and you will not soon forget it (PETER PAPATHANASIOU, author of THE STONING)
I LOVED THIS BOOK. Thelma & Louise meets The Tourist in this pacey, surprising and relentlessly tense Aussie road trip thriller. With No Country for Girls Emma Styles is not playing around - she's staking her claim as the new queen of Outback Noir (LIZZIE POOK, author of MOONLIGHT AND THE PEARLER'S DAUGHTER)
An edge-of-your-seat, high-octane, thrilling road trip across the Oz Outback, in the company of three unforgettable women (LOUISE MORRISH, author of OPERATION MOONLIGHT)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This is a story of characters, less so action - although there is enough of that!


The narration is first class, helping this Scot to feel the heat and smell the sweat of Western Australia.


Well worth the listen.

Very enjoyable!

Found this story quite hard to get into. The narration/ characters were a bit irritating in the first few chapters but I went back to it a few times and then i was hooked.
Excellent narration for all the characters.
Highly recommended.
