The Change: the must read debut feminist fiction novel and crime thriller of 2022!

Product Information

Their investigation into the girl’s murder leads to more bodies, and to the town’s most exclusive and isolated enclave, a world of stupendous wealth where the rules don’t apply. The storytelling flows, it's very well written, there is never a dull moment as the plot deepens with many twists and turns. Their sleuthing will lead to more bodies, and the startling conclusion that a serial killer may have been getting away with murder for YEARS. A modern masterpiece, set back from the road and surrounded by gardens, it had once been the neighborhood’s biggest attraction.

While walking with Jo and Harriett on the beach, Nessa finds a large discarded black bag in the brush. When the three women find the body of an innocent 17-year-old discarded like trash, they come together to use their powers to serve women whom the justice system has failed. Osborne’s latest is set in a vividly rendered Hong Kong during the Chinese government’s brutal suppression of the 2019 pro-democracy demonstrations.The book is definitely readable, and it was interesting and suspenseful at times, but I still found it just okay, overall. I listened to this one via audiobook, as it's almost 500 pages and just zoomed through it, and it was over before I knew it! I just wanted a bit less anti-men and even a bit more emphasis on the menopause topic and how it manifested into their powers. You might find similarities between the crimes and criminals depicted in this work of fiction with actual events that we have come across in the news in recent times.

I haven't cracked a smile since picking this up, and there's nothing sharp about the writing or the characters. Harriett Osborne had an amazing career in advertising until she, too, got ambushed by the powers that be and by her own husband. This title is especially clever in its double meaning, and though this novel has tinges of fantasy elements throughout, it all feels within the realm of possibility.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA Enterprise and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. If you want an extended revenge fantasy, it may float your boat, but you'll have to read an awful lot of misogynist abuse to get there. But that's my fault since I'm not usually thrilled by feminist revenge fantasies and by the time I could check this book out, I'd forgotten this was a feminist revenge fantasy. Most of the men in this book are pretty despicable, almost on the verge of being caricatures rather than real people However, there are some good men in the book, so that saved my rating. Despite Todd’s reluctance, Jack gradually insinuates himself into their lives, and winds up sleeping on their sofa.
