About this listen

NOW AN AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ROBIN WRIGHT, OLIVIA COOKE AND LAURIE DAVIDSON

She loves your son. She wants your life. How far would you go to protect your son?

‘I was blown away’ – Jilly Cooper, author of Rivals

* * *

A gripping and chilling debut psychological thriller, The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances is the story of a mother, a son, his girlfriend and an unforgivable lie.

Laura has it all. A successful career, a long marriage to a rich husband, and a twenty-three year-old son, Daniel, who is kind, handsome, and talented. Then Daniel meets Cherry. Cherry is young, beautiful and smart – but hasn’t led Laura’s golden life. And she wants it.

When tragedy strikes, a decision is made and a lie is told. A lie so terrible it changes their lives forever . . .

I knew from the first chapter that I was going to love this book. It is beautifully written, with really well drawn characters. Without giving anything away, it's a clever tale focused upon the character's and values of two women, and the relationship between them. The men are more minor figures, but still it is easy to engage with them. I am glad that I was not working on the days I was listening to this. I listened in every spare moment and was up until 3am with it! I very much look forward to more from this author.
