Dear Debbie

From #1 Sunday Times and international bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting, subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands – with killer results. ***Sometimes, enough is enough…Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighbourly advice.

Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction. Or at least, she did.

These days, Debbie's life seems to be spiralling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters.

And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie's done being the bigger person. She's done being reasonable and practical.

It's time to take her own advice. And now it's time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most. A brand new, twisted psychological thriller that will have you cheering "good for her!" from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling and global sensation Freida McFadden, the iconic author of The Housemaid.
