Publisher Description
Sometimes, enough is enough . . .
Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction. Or at least, she did.
These days, Debbie’s life seems to be spiraling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters. And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie’s done being the bigger person.
She’s done being reasonable and practical. It’s time to take her own advice.
And now it’s time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most.
From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands—with killer results.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Things get ugly when an advice columnist starts doing damage control on her own life in this darkly funny thriller. After years of advising others, Debbie’s ready to get down to some dirty business when the time comes to deal with those who are making trouble for her and her family, whether it’s her husband’s boss, her daughter’s boyfriend, or anybody else. And when Debbie gets pushed past the breaking point, people could start getting hurt. We almost felt guilty about all the laugh-out-loud moments we experienced, because the darker the story gets, the more laceratingly funny Freida McFadden’s coal-black humor becomes. But no matter how hard we laughed, we still couldn’t relax for a moment amid all the masterfully maintained suspense, especially when shocking turns start arriving left and right. An all-star trio of narrators—Julia Whelan, Scott Brick, and January LaVoy—nail the story’s wily combination of surface sweetness and sinister secrets. Dear Debbie is all about navigating life’s surprises—big or small, happy or hellish.
