What to expect

A Richard & Judy Book Club Pick

A delightfully sinister story for the influencer age, People Like Her is the twisting, compulsive debut thriller from Ellery Lloyd. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies).

'Grabbed me from the first few pages and didn't let go' – Alice Feeney, author of Beautiful Ugly


People like Emmy Jackson. They always have. Especially online, where she is Instagram sensation Mamabare, famous for telling the unvarnished truth about modern parenthood.

But Emmy isn’t as honest as she’d like the fans to believe. She may think she has her followers fooled, but someone out there knows the truth and plans to make her pay . . .

'Brilliantly original' – Clare Mackintosh, author of After the End

'Deliciously dark and devious' – Red

'Highly recommended' – Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

'Slick and sharp' – The Times
