The Favour: The gripping new thriller from an author 'at the top of British psychological suspense writing' (Observer)

Product Information

I will be trying their other books at some point and would recommend The Favour as a quick relaxing read under the genre of a murder mystery rather than a psychological thriller. The actual crime elements feel somewhat perfunctory but the absurdist underpinnings make this more interesting than the usual psychological thriller. This is a truly heart-warming story of loss, recovery and above all, of community' Bernie McGill, author of The Watch House.

In some ways it’s almost impossible to believe Jude agrees to do a favour – without knowing ANYTHING about the request – for ex high school boyfriend Liam. After graduating with a first class honours degree in English Literature from Oxford University, she began her first job, working with emotionally disturbed children in Sheffield.Op een goede manier) Met De gunst heeft Nicci French een boek geschreven met veel en heel bijzondere personages in een bijzondere setting. During that time he also worked at the Sunday Times as deputy literary editor and television critic, and was the film critic for Marie Claire and deputy editor of New Society. How did patronising, gaslighting Nat know about the incident before the police brought Jude home with her tail between her naive legs?

Junior doctor Jude is on the cusp of marriage; after a night shift she finds that Liam, her ‘bad boy’ first boyfriend, whom she hasn’t seen since she left school, is waiting for her to ask a favour – and a very strange favour it is too. This book was like listening to the lyrics of Hotel California, she just couldn’t stay away and kept getting sucked in.When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude’s life after ten years of no contact, asking her for a favour, she just can’t say no.
