Critic reviews

Fans of BBC drama The Replacement will lap up this taut and suspenseful tale [The Temp]

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)

Impressively compelling debut; the tension positively oozes from the pages . . . Keeps the reader on a knife-edge throughout [The Girlfriend]

Brilliantly twisty, a sharp, sinister and addictive read [The Girlfriend]

Heartbreaking, slow paced, but nice storyline

This story was slow, but the use of flashbacks are very enjoyable and touching. It’s not that suspenseful, but the journey a long the way keeps you wanting to follow it to the end.
