_______________
The book club was her idea, of course.
It was her way into our group. A chance to get close.
I knew from the day she arrived that she couldn't be trusted.
And I was right.
Alice didn't come to the village for peace and quiet.
She came for revenge.
_______________
A deliciously addictive psychological thriller about a book club that unravels dark and scandalous secrets between one circle of neighbours. The perfect page-turner for fans of Big Little Lies and The Rumour.

Critic Reviews
I loved this book - tightly plotted, edge-of-seat gripping and likely to make you want to avoid book groups for the foreseeable future!
I raced through it - edgy, tense and wry with great foreshadowing. No one has ever asked me to join a book club - now I think it's for the best!
A dark, twisty, claustrophobic read. I love those locked room novels (albeit locked village in this case!) . . . A thrilling psychological debut
Intensely twisty
Just finished The Book Club and I for one am terrified of the woman next door!
Intricately plotted, this gripping thriller is written with great style and has a host of wonderful characters to be loved and hated in equal measure
Smart, sassy . . . Midsomer Murders meets Desperate Housewives. Immensely entertaining, the growing sense of menace - of 'where have I seen you before?' - grips and chills in equal measures. An excellent confident debut!
An irresistible slow descent into darkness, with twist upon twist upon twist. C.J. Cooper's page-turner debut kept on surprising me right to the end. Brava!
A fabulous, page-turning read! Beautifully written and I loved the humour . . . Highly recommended!
Intuitive and addictive - a great debut
Great read

There are one or two interesting ideas here but they are not explored. The rest is tedious cliche which unfolds exactly as you expect it to, with nothing new or interesting or clever brought to the table. The characters are inconsistent and some of their decisions ridiculous. The uncovering of one major secret at the end is handled by the other party in a way that absolutely defies belief. Beyond an eye-roll, it's just silly.
Lastly, why are depictions of book clubs so absurd and unrealistic in books and film? This is another example of it being so far from any possible reality of such a group, it's impossible to engage.
Utterly dreadful
