About the Book
From the author of The Wasp Trap and One in the Family—an explosive new thriller where a flirtatious friendship turns into the work wife from hell, for fans of Alice Feeney and Ruth Ware
It was really nice, at first. A new work friend – someone to chat to in the office, with a shared taste in music and a wicked sense of humor.
Then Cindy starts calling herself your work wife.
She brings you lunch. Buys you gifts. Keeps turning up unannounced when you’re with your real wife.
And then people start dying…
You thought you’d found a friend.
But have you invited someone far more dangerous into your life?
Someone who doesn’t intend to be your work wife forever – and who will stop at nothing to get everything she wants…
