Welcome to The Close - a beautiful street of mansions, where gorgeous Stella is the indisputable Queen Bee . . .

It is here that Laura, seeking peace and privacy after her marriage falls apart, rents a tiny studio. Unfortunately, her arrival upsets suspicious Stella - who fears Laura has designs on her fiancé, Al.

When Laura stumbles on the big secret Al is hiding, suddenly Stella's perfectly controlled world, and Laura's future, are threatened.

Taking a chance on beating Al at his own twisted game, these two former strangers are fast becoming friends.

But has Laura forgotten that revenge always comes with a sting in the tail?

Absolutely masterly. She turns her trademark wit and taste for the absurd to The Close . . . Bliss Fallon's fun, fish-out-of-water tale is full of love-to-loathe characters and a fair few twists It was unputdownable and such a joy to read! Perfectly crafted with razor sharp wit, Queen Bee is utterly hilarious and deliciously wry Fallon is a fabulously engaging writer who excels at counter-intuitive plot lines, creates believable protagonists who are as capable of bad behaviour as good . . . Blissful escapism - I adored it Sharp and hilarious . . . had me turning the pages into the small hours The brilliant Jane Fallon does it again. Queen Bee is a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud, feel-good kinda novel perfect to curl up on the sofa with I love it. I thought it was whip-smart, sassy and gripping Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit make for a compelling read A perfect beach read Razor sharp and laugh-out-loud hilarious . . . the perfect antidote to our troubled times Compelling, addictive with effortless wit and bite - gloriously connecting A cracking comedy of manners Absolutely loved Queen Bee. Brilliant characters, funny, addictive and very clever. The perfect book to lose yourself in Typical Fallon, written with wit and an after-sting With its edgy wit, this sharp tale is full of characters you'll love to hate Sharp and hilarious. A perfect beach read Praise for Jane Fallon She's the queen of the revenge novel. Dramatic and engaging from the start, you won't want to put it down Brilliant, with completely unexpected twists Superbly taps into our inner Avenger. Hugely compelling and unpredictable Compelling, edgy, beautifully written Intelligent, edgy and witty I LOVE her books. She always delivers a fabaliss read Barbed, twisty and full of deliciously dry wit, this is smart stuff to race through This entertainingly twisty tale is populated with some enjoyably toxic characters Chick lit with an edge Sparkling and unpredictable Darkly comic and addictive Another sure-fire hit from Fallon Expand reviews
