She’s your very best friend. She knows all of your secrets. That’s why she’s so dangerous.

A single mother’s existence is turned ugly when her closest friend vanishes with this chilling debut thriller in the vein of Eliminated Girl and THE LADY for the Train.

It begins with a simple favor-an ordinary kindness mothers do for one another. When her best friend, Emily, asks Stephanie to in regards to a Simple Favor: A Book pick up her boy Nicky after college, she happily says yes. Nicky and her kid, Miles, are classmates and close friends, as well as the five-year-olds like getting together-just like she and Emily. A widow and stay-at-home mommy blogger surviving in woodsy suburban Connecticut, Stephanie was depressed until she met Emily, a sophisticated PR professional whose job in Manhattan needs so a lot of her time.

But Emily doesn’t keep coming back. She doesn’t response calls or return texts. Stephanie understands something is terribly wrong-Emily would never leave Nicky, no matter what the police state. Terrified, she reaches out to her blog visitors for help. She also gets to out to Emily’s spouse, the good-looking, reticent Sean, supplying emotional support. It is the least she can perform for her closest friend. After that, she and Sean receive shocking news. Emily is usually dead. The nightmare of her disappearance is over.

Or could it be? Because quickly, Stephanie will quickly discover that nothing-not camaraderie, love, as well as a typical favor-is as easy as it appears.

A Simple Favor is an extraordinary story of psychological suspense-a smart and twisting free-fall of the ride filled with betrayals and reversals, twists and converts, secrets and revelations, like and commitment, murder and revenge. Darcey Bell masterfully ratchets up the strain in a tight, unsettling, and totally absorbing tale that keeps you in its hold until the final page.
