‘Each of Charlotte Philby’s novels bring a thought-provoking new angle to her characters – with old favourites and new intrigues emerging. The Second Woman is a page-turning thriller, but again, Philby has created a new sort of spy novel – approaching this world of skulduggery and intrigue from an entirely unique perspective. This is a clever, gripping, unsettling and thoroughly entertaining read’
HOLLY WATT
‘A hugely original and talented writer’
JANE CASEY
‘Charlotte Philby redefines a male-dominated genre with her brilliantly complex female characters. I was utterly gripped’
LUCY FOLEY
‘Just as the characters play cat and mouse with one another, so does the author with her readers – it’s a guessing game right to the end’
LOUISE CANDLISH
‘A new star has arrived in the thriller firmament’
