Media Reviews
Moving, funny and completely absorbing... you won't be able to put this one down until you finish it Prima A pacy tale of two women who discover they've been simultaneously married to one man - at his funeral. Witty, ludicrously melodramatic and psychologically perceptive, and you'll polish it off between Luton and Heraklion. Sunday Telegraph A smart, gripping story that we just couldn't stop reading - you won't believe the ending. ***** Closer Magazine The most fantastic gripping book [on Mistress's Revenge} -- Lisa Jewell Fabulous Magazine A funny, smart and savvy read Sainsbury's Magazine
