A gripping and chilling debut psychological thriller, The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances is the story of a mother, a son, his girlfriend and an unforgivable lie.

Laura has it all: a successful career; a long marriage to a rich husband; and a twenty-three-year-old son, Daniel, who is kind, handsome and talented. Then Daniel meets Cherry. Cherry is young, beautiful and smart – but she hasn’t led Laura’s golden life. And now she wants it.

When tragedy strikes, a decision is made and a lie is told. A lie so terrible it will change their lives for ever . . .
