- Book Synopsis
- A Guardian Best Thriller Novel of the Year Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Book Club pick Mesmerising and haunting, Emma Flint's Other Women is a devastating story of obsession inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago. 'This is a book that will stay with you' - Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera series London, 1923. Like so many single women after the Great War, Beatrice Cade, a thirty-seven-year-old typist, is holding tight to her small scrap of independence and trying to build a life for herself. When charismatic visiting salesman Tom Ryan directs his attention at her, Bea falls hard for him. But Ryan is married with a child. And his wife, Kate, has worked to create a seemingly happy domestic life. When Bea is found dead and Tom Ryan is in the frame for her murder, it looks like Kate will do anything to protect her family . . . 'Compelling, twisty and wonderfully suspenseful' - Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground
- About The Author
- Emma Flint was born and grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne. She graduated from the University of St Andrews with an MA in English Language and Literature, and later completed a novel-writing course at the Faber Academy. She now lives and works in a cottage in the Cotswolds, where her study overlooks a Victorian cemetery. Since childhood, she has been drawn to true-crime stories, developing an encyclopaedic knowledge of real-life murder cases from the early 20th century. Her first novel, Little Deaths, was inspired by a crime that took place in 1960s New York. Little Deaths was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, for the Desmond Elliott Prize, for the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award, and for The Guardian's Not the Booker Prize. Emma's second novel, Other Women, was selected as a Zoe Ball BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick. Also inspired by a real case, it tells the story of a love triangle in 1920s London that ends in murder.
