Thrilling new psychological suspense from the bestselling author of Richard & Judy sensation Daughter.
While working as a GP, Jane Shemilt completed a postgraduate
diploma in Creative Writing at Bristol University and went on to
study for the MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa, gaining both with
distinction. Her first novel, Daughter, was selected for the
Richard and Judy Book Club, shortlisted for the Edgar Award and the
Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize, and went on to become the bestselling
debut novel of 2014.
She and her husband, a professor of neurosurgery, have five
children and live in Bristol.
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
*Gilly Macmillan, author of The Nanny*
Extremely clever, readable and elegant... perfect for fans of Big
Little Lies. Domestic noir at its best
*#1 eBook bestseller Suzy K Quinn*
Intelligent, compelling and deeply unsettling. My kind of
book!!
*Ali Land, bestselling author of Good Me Bad Me*
Little Friends taps into your darkest fears. Beautifully told, with
a rich cast of characters, I couldn't put it down
*Rachel Blok, author of Under the Ice*
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...
*Sunday Times bestseller Jane Corry*
The plot was breathlessly gripping, with an emotional punch that
turned the last couple of chapters into a teary blur
*Sarah Naughton, author of The Hanged Man Rises*
Such a clever, beautifully written read that was tense and
thrilling throughout with an ending that gave me goosebumps. Highly
recommended!
*Claire Douglas, author of Then She Vanishes*
A fierce reminder that control is only an illusion
*The Book Review Hub*
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
*Diane Jeffrey, author of He Will Find You*
Countless psychological thrillers get compared to Big Little Lies;
Shemilt's is the real deal
