Description
A gripping and suspenseful debut, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Jane Fallon and Tiger King!
'Original, sharp, clever, and wonderfully observed' Andrea Mara
'A sharply written debut' The Times
'Twisty, sharp (clawed) and deliciously unhinged' Catherine Ryan Howard
'Like a British Liane Moriarty. . . a perfectly plotted suspense debut' Jess Bull
When the peace shatters in suburbia, the claws come out . . .
Coralie King, Emma Brooks and Twig Dorsett are friends. Sort of. They're neighbours on an exclusive Sevenoaks estate who get along. It's convenient.
But one May bank holiday, Coralie's husband insists he saw a panther on the bonnet of his car. And cracks between the elite of the Briar Heart Estate begin to emerge.
As the summer wears on and there are more sightings, the big cat frenzy reaches a fever pitch. Tensions between neighbours threaten to boil over. Everyone is watching their back. But is the real predator a seventy-kilo cat with razor-sharp claws? Or is the actual danger of a much more domestic variety?

Reviews / Votes
Original, sharp, clever, and wonderfully observed, Cat Fight got under my skin, luring me in, baiting me perfectly to a denouement that made me gasp * Andrea Mara * A genuinely original domestic suspense . . . Twisty, sharp (clawed) and deliciously unhinged * Catherine Ryan Howard * A twisty tale stuffed full of secrets, drama and cattiness * Cesca Major * A sharply written debut . . . it's great fun watching all the claws come out * The Times * Half thriller, half witty social commentary. You think you know what's going on, you're wrong. * Nikki May * Full of twists and turns, this wild thriller is gloriously gossipy * Crime Monthly * Like a British Liane Moriarty, Conway deftly balances tension and humour in this perfectly plotted suspense debut * Jess Bull * A wry and witty domestic thriller * The Sun * Fresh, funny and razor sharp. A brilliantly twisty novel * Anna Mazzola * I loved it! Tense, clever, filled with wry observations and claw sharp plotting * Alex Hay *More details
