Description:
This rare uncorrected proof copy of Rose Wilding's debut feminist thriller was printed for reviewers and booksellers ahead of its official 2023 publication. The story begins with a chilling discovery: the severed head of a man, Jamie Spellman, in a seedy hotel room. The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of seven women—including the wife, the ex, and a journalist—all of whom had a motive to kill him. Each woman denies responsibility, forcing them to protect one another while the murder investigation closes in. A compelling and fast-paced debut, Speak of the Devil explores themes of revenge, manipulation, and the fallout when women refuse to be silenced by terrible men. This unedited advance copy is a must-have for collectors of modern crime and feminist literature.
