Synopsis
Three chilling novels of psychological suspense from &“a novelist of the highest quality&” (The Independent on Sunday). Copycat: Martha&’s new neighbor, Jennie, seems to love everything about her: her beautiful house, impressive children, attractive husband, even the way she dresses. It&’s all a bit much. But when Jennie starts changing, gaining confidence and succeeding in love and work, Martha&’s life begins to come apart at the seams, and their frayed friendship hurtles toward an extreme confrontation. &“White handles her gruesome ingredients with control and intelligence.&” —The Independent on Sunday Dogboy: From the age of eight, when his mother died and he landed at the social services office, Fergus has fiercely loved his social worker, Jem. So Jem&’s marriage is the deepest betrayal. Now nineteen, Fergus has just been released from prison, and he&’s coming to set things right between them. &“A tone of punchy malice governs White&’s literate black comedy. . . . [She] wields a wickedly sardonic pen.&” —Publishers Weekly Unhallowed Ground: London social worker Georgina Jefferson battles guilt and public disgrace when one of her charges, an abused five-year-old girl, is beaten to death. She retreats to an isolated cottage that once belonged to her deceased brother. But her neighbors&’ hostility and a series of chilling incidents cause her to question who or what threatens her most. &“Gothic elements abound in this spine-tingling melodrama. . . . A suspenseful, tautly woven thriller featuring a suitably shocking conclusion.&” —Booklist With these three unforgettable psychological thrillers, &“White evokes comparisons to Fay Weldon and Joy Fielding with her comic flair and touch of the grotesque&” (Publishers Weekly).
