A Guardian Best Thriller Novel of the Year
Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Book Club pick
Mesmerising and haunting, Emma Flint's Other Women is a devastating story of obsession inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago.
‘This is a book that will stay with you’ - Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera series
London, 1923. Like so many single women after the Great War, Beatrice Cade, a thirty-seven-year-old typist, is holding tight to her small scrap of independence and trying to build a life for herself.
When charismatic visiting salesman Tom Ryan directs his attention at her, Bea falls hard for him. But Ryan is married with a child. And his wife, Kate, has worked to create a seemingly happy domestic life. When Bea is found dead and Tom Ryan is in the frame for her murder, it looks like Kate will do anything to protect her family . . .
‘Compelling, twisty and wonderfully suspenseful’ - Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground

Her first novel, Little Deaths, was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, for the Desmond Elliott Prize, for the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award, and for the Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize.
