About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to The Close - a beautiful street of mansions, where gorgeous Stella is the indisputable Queen Bee . . .

It is here that Laura, seeking peace and privacy after her marriage falls apart, rents a tiny studio. Unfortunately, her arrival upsets suspicious Stella - who fears Laura has designs on her fiancé, Al.

When Laura stumbles on the big secret Al is hiding, suddenly Stella's perfectly controlled world, and Laura's future, are threatened.

Taking a chance on beating Al at his own twisted game, these two former strangers are fast becoming friends.

But has Laura forgotten that revenge always comes with a sting in the tail?

Critic reviews

Absolutely masterly. She turns her trademark wit and taste for the absurd to The Close . . . Bliss

Fallon's fun, fish-out-of-water tale is full of love-to-loathe characters and a fair few twists

It was unputdownable and such a joy to read! (Alice Feeney)

Perfectly crafted with razor sharp wit, Queen Bee is utterly hilarious and deliciously wry (Nicola Moriarty)

Fallon is a fabulously engaging writer who excels at counter-intuitive plot lines, creates believable protagonists who are as capable of bad behaviour as good . . . Blissful escapism - I adored it

Sharp and hilarious . . . had me turning the pages into the small hours (Louise Candlish)

The brilliant Jane Fallon does it again. Queen Bee is a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud, feel-good kinda novel perfect to curl up on the sofa with (Ali Land)

I love it. I thought it was whip-smart, sassy and gripping (Gillian McAllister)

Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit make for a compelling read

A perfect beach read

I haven’t had any of this authors books before but I purchased this book after hearing it reviewed on TV. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. An insight as to how life can change us in habit and ourselves. From living the high life to a downfall. Great page turner and I will get more from this author. A good book and highly recommended.
