The Mistress's Revenge

You think you are rid of me.

You think you have drawn a line under the whole affair.

You are so, so wrong.

For five years, Sally and Clive have been lost in a passionate affair. Now he has dumped her, to devote himself to his wife and family, and Sally is left in freefall.

It starts with a casual stroll past his house, and popping into the brasserie where his son works. Then Sally befriends Clive's wife and daughter on Facebook. But that's alright isn't it? I mean they are perfectly normal things to do. Aren't they?

Not since Fatal Attraction has the fallout from an illicit affair been exposed in such a sharp, darkly funny and disturbing way.. After all, who doesn't know a normal, perfectly sane woman who has gone a little crazy when her heart was broken?

Reviews

This book is Fatal Attraction with a twist and will grip you from beginning to end

—— Prima

Gasp in recognition at this cracking tale, narrated by a woman scorned... Sister, we've all been there...

—— Grazia

If you thought Fatal Attraction was the last word on the fury of a woman scorned, think again...acutely observed, wickedly funny and deftly plotted, with a satisfyingly smart twist at the end.

—— Mail on Sunday

This is a brilliantly chilling read. All about obsession and delusion and the madness that love can induce. It had me up until 3am, gasping to the end

—— Jo Whiley

Will keep you guessing about its characters fates until the very end

—— Candis Magazine

Dark, often funny but sometimes unnerving

—— Woman & Home

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned indeed! Honest... gripping... well-written

Sad, shocking, but darkly funny, this diary-style tale of a crazed, broken-hearted woman is riveting

Gripping debut

—— Glamour

I just finished the most fantastic gripping book, the Mistress’s Revenge by Tamar Cohen. I had to keep going to bed early to read it, it’s amazing!

—— Lisa Jewell

Waldman imagines a toxic brew of bigotry in conflict with idealism in this frighteningly plausible and tightly wound account of what might happen if a Muslim architect had won a contest to design a memorial at the World Trade Center site...Waldman keenly focuses on political and social variables...As misguided outrage flows from all corners, Waldman addresses with a refreshing frankness thorny moral questions and ethical ironies without resorting to breathless hyperbole.

—— Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

A wonderful novel which challenges your beliefs.

—— The Sun

What I liked about The Reckoning: Pretty much everything. Katsu’s writing falls nicely somewhere in between fancy literary writing and popular fiction.

I was really grabbed by the narrative voice and I was fasincated by the story ... what a story!

Bodice-ripping romp through the West
