A chilling portrayal of female friendship by debut author Darcey Bell.
Darcey Bell was raised on a dairy farm in western Iowa and is currently a preschool teacher in Chicago. She was born in 1981. Her debut novel is A Simple Favour, a tense psychological thriller set in Connecticut.
A compellingly creepy female protagonist who kept me guessing right
up to the end
*Michelle Frances, number one bestselling author of The
Girlfriend*
Fast-moving, readable and packed with betrayal, secrets and plenty
of twists and turns
*The Telegraph*
Darcey Bell tackles a nightmare scenario brilliantly in A Simple
Favour
*Good Housekeeping*
Sly, satirical, subversive: a deliciously poisoned cupcake of a
story
*L.S. Hilton, author of Maestra*
A psychological thriller that is as hip and relevant as it is
gripping. . . . I couldn't stop reading about these two truly
terrifying moms!
*Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes*
Riveting and brilliantly structured, A Simple Favor is an
edge-of-your seat domestic thriller about a missing wife and mother
that relies on a rotating cast of unreliable narrators to
ingeniously examine the cost of competitive mom-friends, the toll
of ordinary marital discontent and the fallacy of the
picture-perfect, suburban family
*Kimberly McCreight, author of international bestseller
Reconstructing Amelia*
An intense, captivating, and astonishing thriller ending in an
unforeseen and surprise ending; the premise: Be careful who you
trust
*New York Journal of Books*
Bell’s edgy first novel is chock-full of dirty little secrets,
lies, and manipulations. Gone Girl devotees should reserve an
advance copy and carve out uninterrupted time for this juicy
read
*Library Journal*
Debut-novelist Bell ramps up suspense with authority in this
domestic thriller, in which actions seem as inevitable as they are
chilling. The audience that made Gone Girl a publishing sensation
is likely to take to this one, too
