This Charming Man

British Book Awards Author of the Year 2022




'Gripping. The master at her best' Daily Telegraph
The No 1 bestseller

'Don't you dare be happy, you bastard.
That's what I thought when I heard. Don't you dare be happy'

Slick, handsome politician Paddy de Courcy is on the up. His party is set do well in the elections and he's just announced his engagement to the beautiful Alicia. Which is news to his girlfriend, Lola, who, within hours, finds herself dumped and warned not to talk to the press.

Yet journalist Grace is on the prowl. She has been after Paddy ever since he ruined her sister Marnie's life way back in college. Grace is looking for the inside story and thinks Lola holds the key.

But do any of them know the real Paddy?

Four very different women.
One awfully charming man.
And the dark secret that binds them all . . .

'So funny, so perceptive, so real. I changed my life for this book' Mail on Sunday

'The laughs come fast and furious. A gripping, compelling tale' Sunday Independent
