An extremely twisty tale of obsession and revenge, this psychological thriller will quickly get under your skin - be prepared for some late nights 'til you finish it! * Heat * Expect dark themes and plot twists a plenty in this intense, creepy thriller * Red * A very modern love story with an eerily prescient twist * Daily Mail * A darkly, thrilling surprise * Sun * Aussie noir is all the rage at the moment and The Ex-Girlfriend is as grand guignol a slice as anyone could wish for * Buzz Magazine * Gripping, dramatic and with twists you won't see coming, this book held me in its spell from the first page. I loved this book * Sally Hepworth, author of The Mother-in-Law * I thought it was fresh, atmospheric, feminist and had me turning the pages into the small hours. A total treat * Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of How To Disappear * This cleverly written book by Moriarty sucks you in right from the first page. If you love a gripping read, with twists around the corner, then this is one for your reading list * My Weekly * A fast-paced pulpy psychological thriller with Netflix written all over it * Sydney Morning Herald * A pacy, gripping thriller, but also full of heart and plenty of laughs for comic relief. Key themes of mental health and the different ways humans control each other and the importance of friendship shine brightly, wrapped in an absorbing, terrifying tale that perfectly captures the zeitgeist * Sunday Telegraph (Australia) *More details
