Critics Review

  • Fans of BBC drama The Replacement will lap up this taut and suspenseful tale

    Heat

  • I was blown away. The Girlfriend is the most marvellous psychological thriller . . . I couldn’t put it down and kept sneaking upstairs to read another few pages . . . Michelle Frances is a writer we’re going to hear a great deal about. Please read this genuinely exciting novel

    Jilly Cooper

  • The Girlfriend is a taut psychological thriller, the evil chillingly drawn. Every character is layered and beautifully twisted. Makes me consider running background checks on any potential spouses my children bring home!

    Karen Rose

  • Impressively compelling debut; the tension positively oozes from the pages . . . Keeps the reader on a knife-edge throughout

    The Press Association

  • A juicy thriller and utterly compulsive reading

    Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You

  • Brilliantly twisty, a sharp, sinister and addictive read
