Mother's Day

Superbly written and darkly funny, Mother's Day is an epic psychological thriller that revels in the visceral horror of family relationships. So brilliantly and horrifyingly executed I simply couldn't look away. Abigail Burdess is a refreshing and original writer - don't take your eyes off her. * Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code * Fast and funny, dark and beautiful - I loved every page. * Robert Webb, author of How Not To Be a Boy * A startlingly original, pitch dark page-turner * Claire McGowan, bestselling author of What You Did and The Other Wife * Deliciously dark, dripping in malice and drenched with razor sharp wit. Burdess is a writer to be watched - and feared. * John Marrs, bestselling author of What Lies Between Us and The Minders * A twisted, gruesome and diabolically funny exploration of motherhood that I lapped up like a feral cat. Dark, weird and brilliant, Mother's Day will haunt you - particularly Marlene, a jaw-dropping creation, the mother of malign mothers. * Beth Morrey, bestselling author of Saving Missy * A brilliant debut with all the twists and turns of Du Maurier and a stunning ending that leaves you breathless. Astonishingly good. * Robert Thorogood, bestselling author of The Marlow Murder Club * A fresh and complex story about the many layers of motherhood that twists and turns until you really can't imagine what might happen next. Startling and instantly intriguing. * Katy Brand, comedian and author of Practically Perfect * Mother's Day is completely gripping and quite terrifying, an addictive story about motherhood and madness. I was utterly blindsided by its twists and turns. * Lucy Porter * Wickedly dark and devilishly funny, I loved this original take on the 'mother daughter' relationship. A must read for 2023! * Sophie Flynn, author of Keep Them Close *
