Sticks and Stones cover

How far would you go for revenge on your ex?

'A cracking book. Darkly funny, yet also touching and emotive' CJ Tudor

Imogen's husband is a bad man. His ex-wife and his new mistress might have different perspectives but Imogen knows the truth.

When he issues her with an impossible ultimatum, Imogen does something unthinkable, locking her husband in the cellar.

But how far will she go to protect her son and punish the man who destroyed her life?

And what if she's not the only one out for revenge?

A twist-filled, edge-of-your seat psychological thriller that fans of Cara Hunter, Lisa Jewell and Adele Parks will devour.


*DON'T MISS JO JAKEMAN'S NEW THRILLER, WHAT HIS WIFE KNEW*


'Gripping' Laura Marshall

'I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough' Fiona Cummins
'Plenty of twists' Guardian

Revenge is a dish served with lashings of relish in this vivid, blackly comic suspense novel, as three women fight back against an abusive partner. I cheered them on to the bloody end. * Louise Candlish, author of OUR HOUSE *
A revenge thriller to make you punch the air in solidarity, Sticks and Stones is a wickedly sharp, psychologically intense debut which announces Jo Jakeman as a future queen of grip lit. * Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends *
Witty and satirical while illuminating a dilemma often faced by women when their marriages break up -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
It's not often you get a thriller that is just as good at keeping you on the edge of your seat as it is at making you laugh - but Sticks and Stones is both. A deliciously dark and gripping debut. * Emily Koch, author of IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE *
Reads like a darker Big Little Lies with all the female rage of Sharp Objects. * Bustle.com *
