Publisher’s Summary 

All of us knew him. One of us killed him...

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 did not. In order to protect each other, they must figure out who is responsible, all while staying one step ahead of the police.

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 dark and nuanced portrait of 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.

My Review

This dark and disturbing debut was absolutely fascinating and impossible to put down. My advice is to read this book slowly to keep track of all the threads and characters. I'm rating it a 4.5 because it kept me hooked the whole time but there was one angle that I still wanted from the story. I definitely recommend this to anyone who thinks they can always figure out who the killer is in the first chapters (hello, me 🙋🏼‍♀️) This one kept me guessing!
