Speak of the Devil

An unforgettable literary who-dunnit from an exceptional new talent.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
'A clever and utterly absorbing thriller which marks the arrival of an author to watch' i News 'A powerful feminist thriller . . . twisted in the best way' Clemence Michallon, author of The Quiet Tenant

Seven women stand in shock in a seedy hotel room; a man's severed head sits in the centre of the floor. Each of the women - the wife, the teenager, the ex, the journalist, the colleague, the friend, and the woman who raised him - has a very good reason to have done it, yet each swears she didn't. In order to protect each other, they must figure out who did.

Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman's secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer.

A beautifully written debut thriller about love, loyalty, and manipulation, Speak of the Devil explores the roles in which women are cast in the lives of terrible men . . . and the fallout when they refuse to stay silent for one moment longer. MORE PRAISE FOR SPEAK OF THE DEVIL: 'A devilishly immersive read - Rose Wilding is a wonderful new talent' Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire 'Get ready to cheer these women on' Prima 'I loved it' Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
