A proposito di questo titolo
Seven women stand in shock in a seedy hotel room; a man's severed head sits in the centre of the floor. Each of the women - the wife, the teenager, the ex, the journalist, the colleague, the friend, and the woman who raised him - has a very good reason to have done it, yet each swears she didn't. In order to protect each other, they must figure out who did.
Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman's secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer.
A beautifully written debut thriller about love, loyalty, and manipulation, Speak of the Devil explores the roles in which women are cast in the lives of terrible men . . . and the fallout when they refuse to stay silent for one moment longer.
Recensioni della critica
"Absolutely, barnstormingly brilliant. Beyond gripping, with wonderful characters you know and care about, feel rage for and with. Perfectly paced and plotted, I loved every dark, clever, powerful page." (Cressida McLaughlin, author of The House of Birds and Butterflies)
"In Speak of the Devil, Rose Wilding takes an axe to toxic masculinity. The male perpetrator may lose his head but Wilding keeps hers, manoeuvring her vivid characters around like a virtuoso puppeteer and skilfully ensuring that the readers' sympathies stay firmly with those who really deserve it. It's a powerful, accomplished and important debut from a writer who has not only found her own voice but given one to others who have previously been silenced." (Trevor Wood, author of Dead End Street)
"One of the most assured and compelling debuts I've read in a long while. Rose Wilding's evocation of the Newcastle setting and pitch-perfect ear for dialogue make every one of her characters live and breathe. I love the way she can unpick their lives before our eyes, exposing every secret. It's such a clever, multi-layered story." (Kate Rhodes, author of The Brutal Tide)
