Review
A compellingly creepy female protagonist who kept me guessing right up to the end (Michelle Frances, number one bestselling author of The Girlfriend)
Fast-moving, readable and packed with betrayal, secrets and plenty of twists and turns (The Telegraph)
Darcey Bell tackles a nightmare scenario brilliantly in A Simple Favour (Good Housekeeping)
Sly, satirical, subversive: a deliciously poisoned cupcake of a story (L.S. Hilton, author of Maestra)
A psychological thriller that is as hip and relevant as it is gripping. . . . I couldn't stop reading about these two truly terrifying moms! (Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes)
Riveting and brilliantly structured, A Simple Favor is an edge-of-your seat domestic thriller about a missing wife and mother that relies on a rotating cast of unreliable narrators to ingeniously examine the cost of competitive mom-friends, the toll of ordinary marital discontent and the fallacy of the picture-perfect, suburban family (Kimberly McCreight, author of international bestseller Reconstructing Amelia)
An intense, captivating, and astonishing thriller ending in an unforeseen and surprise ending; the premise: Be careful who you trust (New York Journal of Books)
Bell’s edgy first novel is chock-full of dirty little secrets, lies, and manipulations. Gone Girl devotees should reserve an advance copy and carve out uninterrupted time for this juicy read (Library Journal)
Debut-novelist Bell ramps up suspense with authority in this domestic thriller, in which actions seem as inevitable as they are chilling. The audience that made Gone Girl a publishing sensation is likely to take to this one, too (Booklist (starred review))
