About the Book

Now a major feature film starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, A Simple Favour is a twisting free-fall ride filled with betrayal, secrets and revelations, love and loyalty . . .

What happened to Emily?

It starts with a simple favour – an ordinary kindness mothers do for one another.

As a widow and stay-at-home blogger mum living in suburban Connecticut, Stephanie was lonely until she met Emily – a glamorous and successful PR executive. Their children are classmates and best friends – and so are they.

So, when Emily asks Stephanie to pick up her son from school, of course she says yes.

But Emily doesn't come back.

No matter what the police say, Stephanie knows that Emily would never leave her son. Terrified, she reaches out to her fellow mummy bloggers. And she reaches out to Emily's husband to offer her support.

But there are secrets that Stephanie hasn't shared.

Secrets buried deep in the murky past . . .

For fans of Mothers’ Instinct and Big Little Lies, Darcey Bell ratchets up the tension in a taut, unsettling, and completely absorbing thriller that holds you in its grip until the very final page.

About the Author :
Darcey Bell was raised on a dairy farm in western Iowa and is a preschool teacher in Chicago. She was born in 1981. Her debut novel is A Simple Favour, a tense psychological thriller set in Connecticut.

Review :
A compellingly creepy female protagonist who kept me guessing right up to the end Fast-moving, readable and packed with betrayal, secrets and plenty of twists and turns Darcey Bell tackles a nightmare scenario brilliantly in A Simple Favour Sly, satirical, subversive: a deliciously poisoned cupcake of a story A psychological thriller that is as hip and relevant as it is gripping. . . . I couldn't stop reading about these two truly terrifying moms! Riveting and brilliantly structured, A Simple Favor is an edge-of-your seat domestic thriller about a missing wife and mother that relies on a rotating cast of unreliable narrators to ingeniously examine the cost of competitive mom-friends, the toll of ordinary marital discontent and the fallacy of the picture-perfect, suburban family An intense, captivating, and astonishing thriller ending in an unforeseen and surprise ending; the premise: Be careful who you trust Bell’s edgy first novel is chock-full of dirty little secrets, lies, and manipulations. Gone Girl devotees should reserve an advance copy and carve out uninterrupted time for this juicy read Debut-novelist Bell ramps up suspense with authority in this domestic thriller, in which actions seem as inevitable as they are chilling. The audience that made Gone Girl a publishing sensation is likely to take to this one, too
