Description
'Such great dialogue and action…a frisky murder story and terrific reading' – John Self, The Times
Two women. One baby. And a man in the sceptic tank.
In their lovely Cotswolds village, Janet and Susan are known simply as ‘the girls’. Partners in love and work, proprietors of a picturesque shop, they lead an enviably peaceful life.
But after one moment of surprising passion, the girls’ lives take a deeply unsettling turn.
Part-dark comedy, part-crime thriller, part-cosy love story, The Girls will ensure you never look on Middle England quite so quaintly again.
‘Startlingly offbeat’ Gore Vidal
‘Absolutely wicked’ Armistead Maupin
‘[For] those who feel Barbara Pym-ish on some days and Stephen King-ish on others . . . The Girls charms us as only certain tales ‘of village life’ can’ Washington Post
