What Happens to Bad Girls? finds Natasha Linnet retreating to a life of idyllic perversity in the Channel Islands, where she expects to be able to indulge herself without interference, especially from the press. Unfortunately she hasn't bargained for the locals, who have no intention of leaving her in peace, while her efforts to avoid her misbehaviour catching up with her become increasingly desperate. The book is designed to stand alone, but continues Natasha's exploits from In Disgrace, while it is also something of a pastiche of the overused island setting for erotic novels.
