Like all good thrillers, HER creeps up on you. You can't stop lapping up the rich domestic details, the astute observations about modern motherhood and female friendship, but you're skittish, aware of the growing shadow. What happened in the past? Which one is the psychopath? The end will make you yelp."—Christina Schwarz, author of *Drowning Ruth* "Never have I seen the angst and vulnerability of early motherhood so vividly portrayed. Harriet Lane explores the "tyranny of domesticity" and the almost primitive bonds that link women to their children and also to other mothers. HER is at once funny and terrifying. I read it in one sitting and when I was finally able to put it down, my heart was pounding."—Ann Leary, author of *The Good House* "This book knocked the breath out of me in the very best sense. HER is mesmerizing, nail-biting, deeply atmospheric and, ultimately, haunting. Harriet Lane has crafted an intoxicating interplay between friendship and betrayal, mothering and memory, vulnerability and opportunity. Watching the story unfold is like watching the perfect storm gather at sea and roll in toward the coast. The creeping sense of inevitability, combined with warning signals that foretell something dangerously wrong, adds up to a suspense novel that's all kinds of right."—Koren Zailckas, author of *Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood* "In her captivating new novel, HER, Harriet Lane crafts a tale of suspense that seeps slowly and inevitably between the cracks of two otherwise ordinary lives. Writing with a quiet confidence and an eye for the most perfect details, Ms. Lane lures her readers into the lives of Nina and Emma, two women at opposite ends of raising a family. Ms. Lane finds the extraordinary in the ordinary, and this gift will keep readers enthralled until the novel's thrilling end."—Lori Roy, author of Bent Road and *Until She Comes Home* "A spellbinding book. Think of Virginia Woolf under the influence of Claude Chabrol. Just beneath the smooth, beautiful sentences lies a world alive with terror."—Tom McNeal, author of *To Be Sung Underwater* "Lane is a brilliant observer of the intricacies of the everyday.... As seductive as it is chilling, HER is quality literary fiction meets psychological thriller, the devil of which is in the detail."—Lucy Scholes, Guardian (UK) "Lane is brilliant at creating a sense of foreboding.... It's a little like being in the audience at a very sophisticated pantomime where the cast are decked out in chic black and the lives unravel in a sleek villa in Nice...with its own infinity pool. Unlike conventional thrillers, the perverse pleasure of this compelling novel is not a big reveal but the pin-sharp unpicking of personality."—Eithne Farry, Sunday Express (UK) "Lane excels at everyday detail. Emma's total absorption by motherhood is rendered with beautifully stinging observations."—Claire Allfree, Metro (UK) "Early contender for book of the year. Another triumph from Harriet Lane."—Erin Kelly "The ultimate frenemy thriller."—Now (UK) "A taut revenge drama.... Lane is a deft conjurer of menacing middle-class scenarios."—Patricia Nicol, Independent (UK)About the AuthorHarriet Lane has worked as an editor and writer at Tatler and the Observer.
