But as their plan spirals out of control, they begin to doubt themselves . . . and each other. Then Jamie is found dead. And suddenly everything is at stake. As lies are unravelled and truths exposed, two urgent questions emerge:

Who is really guilty?

And who will have to pay?

Quotes

With complex female characters spiralling out of control, Payday is tense, full of twists, and impossible to put down

A satisfyingly nuanced take on the #MeToo novel . . . fearless, stylish, suspenseful and immensely entertaining

Wonderful . . . a fast-paced psychological thriller and a feminist unpicking of the issues that unite and divide women. I adored it

Modern, intelligent and totally gripping. Nicole Kidman TV miniseries is written all over it SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will inhale this in one sitting, as I did

Sensational. Full of twists and turns and ambushes that keep you guessing up until the very last page. PAYDAY is the best book you will read all year about where men and women are right now.

I think every working woman will relate to this story. I was enraged in places and cheering certain characters on, then questioning my own judgement. An intelligent, thought-provoking and highly topical story with some great twists.

Clever, compelling and chillingly plausible, Payday is a deftly plotted thriller that ratchets up the tension right until the final couldn't-see-it-coming twist.

Seductive. Intelligent. Should have a 'must read' advisory on it

With assured writing and a deftly-handled plot, Payday is a page turner that will provoke many a debate
