But as their plan spirals out of control, they begin to doubt themselves . . . and each other. Then Jamie is found dead. And suddenly everything is at stake. As lies are unravelled and truths exposed, two urgent questions emerge:

Who is really guilty?

With complex female characters spiralling out of control, Payday is tense, full of twists, and impossible to put down
HELEN FIELDING
A satisfyingly nuanced take on the #MeToo novel . . . fearless, stylish, suspenseful and immensely entertaining
LOUISE CANDLISH
Wonderful . . . a fast-paced psychological thriller and a feminist unpicking of the issues that unite and divide women. I adored it
GILLIAN MCALLISTER
Modern, intelligent and totally gripping. Nicole Kidman TV miniseries is written all over it
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will inhale this in one sitting, as I did
JESSICA FELLOWES
Sensational. Full of twists and turns and ambushes that keep you guessing up until the very last page. PAYDAY is the best book you will read all year about where men and women are right now.
TONY PARSONS
I think every working woman will relate to this story. I was enraged in places and cheering certain characters on, then questioning my own judgement. An intelligent, thought-provoking and highly topical story with some great twists.
ALLIE REYNOLDS
Clever, compelling and chillingly plausible, Payday is a deftly plotted thriller that ratchets up the tension right until the final couldn't-see-it-coming twist.
ELLERY LLOYD
Seductive. Intelligent. Should have a 'must read' advisory on it
JANE CORRY
With assured writing and a deftly-handled plot, Payday is a page turner that will provoke many a debate
C.J. COOPER
Journalist Walden's debut is a cracking feminist revenge thriller that rips along, full of tension and drama. Telling the story from the three women's separate points of view means well-developed characters and acres of room for deception, suspense and a neat twist in the tail
DAILY MAIL

THE SUN
A brilliant and clever read
CLOSER
A fast-paced story, you'll be hooked from the first line

MAIL ON SUNDAY
Compulsively readable . . . fans of Liz Nugent's Unravelling Oliver will find much to enjoy in a novel that is provocatively complex as it explores the grey areas that exist between right and wrong.
