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
Sunday Mirror
The push and pull of characters who work to succeed from different angles create a story abounding with mysteries, revelations, and lies, making this novel one of a kind.
