Little Friends

Reviews

Gripping to the last page Suspenseful, brooding Clever Little Friends is beautifully written and suffused with dread. Jane Shemilt's compelling literary thriller explores with acuity the pressure cooker challenges of adult responsibility, and the assumptions we make. The domestic settings are seductively vivid and the final outcome is profoundly shocking and terrifying Extremely clever, readable and elegant... perfect for fans of Big Little Lies. Domestic noir at its best Intelligent, compelling and deeply unsettling. My kind of book!! Little Friends taps into your darkest fears. Beautifully told, with a rich cast of characters, I couldn't put it down Little Friends is beautifully written. I was in the kitchen; in the garden; on holiday with all the characters. And I was there at the fallout. Jane Shemilt has a talent for taking you into her world - but be careful. It might not be what you think... The plot was breathlessly gripping, with an emotional punch that turned the last couple of chapters into a teary blur Such a clever, beautifully written read that was tense and thrilling throughout with an ending that gave me goosebumps. Highly recommended! A fierce reminder that control is only an illusion A compelling, disturbing and beautifully told story. I loved Jane's debut Daughter and adored The Drowning Lesson but Jane has topped them both with Little Friends Countless psychological thrillers get compared to Big Little Lies; Shemilt's is the real deal Surefire suspense [. . .] riveting creepiness A fantastically clever novel with some wonderful twists Praise for Jane Shemilt A compelling sense of place, good twists, and a tense, intense ending We absolutely loved this Thrilling Builds layer upon layer of tension in a novel you won't be able to put down Utterly gripping. A tautly-coiled spring of suspicion and suspense which builds to a devastating ending A dark and twisty tale Well-written, taut and tense Taut and thought-provoking Expand reviews
