Publisher's Synopsis
In a recent survey 65% of mothers admitted feeling undervalued, over-criticised and constantly tired. Cathy is no exception. Her dull, uneventful days as a stay at home, mother of two, are radically transformed however with the arrival of a heavily lipsticked postcard addressed to husband, Declan. Who is the mysterious La La? Could Declan really be having an affair? And is Cathy actually being stalked? Whatever - it will definitely prove riveting gossip for the Tuesday Twice Monthlies, Cathy's 'Mothers Restaurant Research' group where scandal flows as recklessly as the wine. But what starts as a light-hearted investigation with best friend Raz, soon turns into something much more sinister. With a possible murderer on the scene, a sexy admirer igniting long-forgotten sparks, and all her friends hiding secrets, it's not only Cathy's marriage that's in jeopardy. Add in the scheming antics of Declan's new assistant, the stress of organising the school Save The Toilet's dance and the stage is set for a dangerous showdown and some very unsettling, possibly deadly, revelations.' Editorial Reviews Praise for previous Ellie Campbell novels: When Good Friends Go Bad 'Quirky and intriguing and kept me interested throughout... all the key ingredients for a gripping read: love and lust are angling for room with an unsolved mystery, lots of juicy secrets (old and new) and a nice bit of suspense and surprise towards the end.' The Bookbag 'An engaging story about the bonds of friendship stretching over 12 years, by the sister duo who gave us How to Survive Your Sisters.' BOOKSELLER 'When Good Friends Go Bad really was a fabulous novel and I wholly recommend you read it.' Chicklit Reviews and News Nominated as a "Top Ten Beach Read" Red Magazine How to Survive your Sisters 'Makes sibling rivalry funny.' Cosmopolitan 'A rollicking read, ' Carol Smith, author of 'Twilight Hour' and 'In the Dead of the Night'. 'A cracking book with the entangled plot developing at great speed, one of the best in this area.' BOOKSELLER 'Ellie Campbell's infectious sense of fun is immensely cheering. Her stories are a gorgeous blend of memorable characters, plot-twisting treats and heart-warming nostalgia. I hope the Ellie Campbell phenomenon is here to stay.' Fiona Walker, author of Four Play and The Love Letter.
