- Book Synopsis
- Now a major feature film starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, A Simple Favour is a twisting free-fall ride filled with betrayal, secrets and revelations, love and loyalty . . . What happened to Emily? It starts with a simple favour - an ordinary kindness mothers do for one another. As a widow and stay-at-home blogger mum living in suburban Connecticut, Stephanie was lonely until she met Emily - a glamorous and successful PR executive. Their children are classmates and best friends - and so are they. So, when Emily asks Stephanie to pick up her son from school, of course she says yes. But Emily doesn't come back. No matter what the police say, Stephanie knows that Emily would never leave her son. Terrified, she reaches out to her fellow mummy bloggers. And she reaches out to Emily's husband to offer her support. But there are secrets that Stephanie hasn't shared. Secrets buried deep in the murky past . . . For fans of Mothers' Instinct and Big Little Lies, Darcey Bell ratchets up the tension in a taut, unsettling, and completely absorbing thriller that holds you in its grip until the very final page.Readers LOVE A Simple Favour: 'If you enjoyed the movie then you would definitely enjoy this.
