Description

THE WORD-OF-MOUTH SENSATION THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A RICHARD & JUDY BOOKCLUB SELECTION NOW A NUMBER ONE NETFLIX SERIES 'Timely and compelling' Shari Lapena 'Impressive' The Times 'Gripping' Observer 'Sensational' Clare Mackintosh A high-profile marriage thrust into the spotlight. A prosecutor who believes justice has been a long time coming. A scandal that will rock Westminster. And the women caught at the heart of it. Praise for Anatomy of a Scandal: 'Magnificent' Marian Keyes 'Intelligent, subtle and thought-provoking' Louise Candlish 'The definition of a page-turner' Elizabeth Day 'Almost impossible to put down' Louise O'Neill 'Once the trial of MP James Whitehouse starts, you could not have prised the book from hands for love or money' Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express 'An absolute masterpiece - prepare to be very impressed' heat 'A lot of reviews claim that a novel has them 'hooked from the start' - but with this story, it's painfully true' Grazia 'A timely thriller about marriage, but also about power, who wields it, and how that affects who we believe' Stylist 'Well-written, pacy and full of twists and turns' Independent 'New Netflix series lays bare the toxic privilege of those in power... Friend's performance is eerily plausible. His Whitehouse is charismatic and smoothly persuasive, his eloquence barely concealing his arrogance... Equally strong is Miller as Sophie, who is forced for the first time to examine her own cosseted way of life and the principles she has sacrificed to preserve it' Financial Times 'This drama will immediately entire fans of House of Cards, Apple Tree Yard and The Undoing.... Miller is excellent as the elegant, brittle Sophie, who is forced to watch her beautifully organised house fall out of order, the heart of a drama that manages to feel both aesthetically glossy and morally gritty' Sunday Times Culture 'Feels like it could have been ripped from the headlines' Evening Standard 'A cautionary tale for our times' Daily Telegraph **OUT NOW: REPUTATION, THE THRILLING AND TIMELY NEW NOVEL FROM SARAH VAUGHAN**
