Cat Fight

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

A genuinely original domestic suspense . . . Twisty, sharp (clawed) and deliciously unhinged

A twisty tale stuffed full of secrets, drama and cattiness

A sharply written debut . . . it's great fun watching all the claws come out

Half thriller, half witty social commentary. You think you know what's going on, you're wrong.

Full of twists and turns, this wild thriller is gloriously gossipy

Like a British Liane Moriarty, Conway deftly balances tension and humour in this perfectly plotted suspense debut

Fresh, funny and razor sharp. A brilliantly twisty novel

I loved it! Tense, clever, filled with wry observations and claw sharp plotting

Feisty, clever and original . . . I devoured it

Catty, claustrophobic, choked with tension, this look at a suburban middle-class community is Kent’s answer to Big Little Lies . . . there’s nothing not to love

Sharpen your claws and get ready for this brilliantly observed suburban suspense . . . I predict it will fly!

[Cat Fight] has Reese Witherspoon's Book Club vibes all over it

Entertaining and funny, while still being dark as hell . . . a truly original domestic suspense

A compelling, gripping thriller which kept me guessing . . . wrapped up in a witty and sharply observed social satire

FABULOUS . . . Deserpate Houswives meets Tiger King meets Motherland. I loved it

The book I wish I'd written . . . fans of Big Little Lies are going to love it

Prepare for your next obsession! I was gripped from the first page to the last.

A gripping, intriguing domestic thriller with a dramatic difference. I loved this book

What a wild ride! I had no idea what would happen next in this bold, fun novel set in a community held together with lies and leopard print

The claws are out in this fantastic domestic thriller. Thrilling, funny and impossible to put down

I absolutely loved it . . . captivating

An astute takedown of suburban life . . . finely drawn comedy with sharp claws

Begins with peaceful suburbia and slowly all hell breaks loose. Loved it

The most twisty and turny and tense and sweaty and socially-painful thriller I have ever read

I hugely enjoyed this . . . a brilliant take on the trials of women in suburbia

ferocious (and [...] gleefully unhinged)

The Cove

Anxietyland

A Taste For Murder

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Fight or Flight (Book 21)

When the peace shatters in suburbia, the claws come out... 
 
Welcome to the Briar Heart Estate - where the lawns are perfectly manicured, friendships are fragile, and everyone knows everyone else's business. 
 
Coralie, Emma and Twig are neighbours. They smile. They judge. And they always keep up appearances. 
 
Then Coralie's husband swears he saw a panther on the bonnet of his car. And one sweltering summer descents into a frenzy of paranoia, gossip and rivalry. But it's not the wild cat the estate should be worried about. It's the women next door…

One rumour. Three women. A summer where nothing stays hidden...This gripping, suspenseful debut is the perfect beach read for fans of Liane Moriarty!
