The Mistress's Revenge

Summary

'The most fantastic gripping book . . . I had to keep going to bed early to read it, it's amazing' Lisa Jewell

'This book is Fatal Attraction with a twist and will grip you from beginning to end' Prima

****

You think you are rid of me.
You think you have drawn a line under the whole affair.
You are so, so wrong.


For five years, Sally and Clive have been lost in a passionate affair. Now he has dumped her, to devote himself to his wife and family, and Sally is left in freefall.

It starts with a casual stroll past his house, and popping into the brasserie where his son works. Then Sally befriends Clive's wife and daughter on Facebook. But that's alright isn't it? I mean they are perfectly normal things to do. Aren't they?

Not since Fatal Attraction has the fallout from an illicit affair been exposed in such a sharp, darkly funny and disturbing way.. After all, who doesn't know a normal, perfectly sane woman who has gone a little crazy when her heart was broken?

****

'Gasp in recognition at this cracking tale, narrated by a woman scorned' Grazia

'Dark, often funny but sometimes unnerving' Woman & Home

'If you thought Fatal Attraction was the last word on the fury of a woman scorned, think again...acutely observed, wickedly funny and deftly plotted, with a satisfyingly smart twist at the end' Mail on Sunday
