'I loved this wild mystery about a group of midlife women who have just about had enough. I couldn't put it down' Erin Kelly. 'A feminist thriller for our times' Nina Pottell, Prima. 'A propulsive plot and characters that roar off the page, this is a novel that's unafraid to take on societal misogyny while being satirical and even funny at the same time' Guardian.

Nessa, Jo, and Harriett, each grappling with their own struggles, find newfound powers and decide to take matters into their own hands.

      In einem kleinen Häuschen, irgendwo in der südafrikanischen Provinz, zieht eine Mutter drei Kinder alleine auf: Zuko, Honey und Ash. Der achtjährige Zuko spricht immer noch nicht, Honey kränkelt und auf den Schultern des 17-jährigen Ash lastet viel Verantwortung. Früher kam im Sommer jeweils ein Mann zu Besuch. Die Mutter schien dann jeweils glücklich, doch nach einem Streit tauchte der Mann eines Tages nicht mehr auf. Was mit Zuko los ist, wissen die Mutter und Ash nicht, aber sie kümmern sich mit viel Liebe und Geduld um das Kind, das die Welt auf seine eigene Art zu erleben scheint. Als Honey immer schwächer wird, gibt es keine Rettung für sie und kurze Zeit später stirbt auch die Mutter. Alles, was Ash nach dem Begräbnis bleibt, sind sein Bruder, der Name und die Adresse jenes Mannes in der Stadt - und die Annahme, dass dieser Mann ihr Vater ist. So machen sich die beiden Brüder zusammen auf - zu Fuss, denn für eine Busfahrt reicht das Geld nicht. Ein steiniger Weg voller Entbehrungen, Gefahren, aber auch Unterstützung und Liebe liegt vor ihnen

      Stay up all night with this modern day Rebecca! Perfect for fans of Truly Devious--a haunting story about a new girl in an old town filled with dark secrets . . . that might just kill her. People say the house is cursed. It preys on the weakest, and young women are its favorite victims. In Louth, they're called the Dead Girls. All Bram wanted was to disappear--from her old life, her family's past, and from the scandal that continues to haunt her. The only place left to go is Louth, the tiny town on the Hudson River where her uncle, James, has been renovating an old mansion. But James is haunted by his own ghosts. Months earlier, his beloved wife died in a fire that people say was set by her daughter. The tragedy left James a shell of the man Bram knew--and destroyed half the house he'd so lovingly restored. The manor is creepy, and so are the locals. The people of Louth don't want outsiders like Bram in their town, and with each passing day she's discovering that the rumors they spread are just as disturbing as the secrets they hide. Most frightening of all are the legends they tell about the Dead Girls. Girls whose lives were cut short in the very house Bram now calls home. The terrifying reality is that the Dead Girls may have never left the manor. And if Bram looks too hard into the town's haunted past, she might not either.
