About this listen
‘A perfect contradiction, existing in the shades of grey that real life is so often painted in . . . A story that’s as furious as it is tender’ Emily Henry
‘A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it with all my broken heart. Read it. You’ll love it’ Marian Keyes

Nessa: The Seeker
Jo: The Protector
Harriett: The Punisher
With newfound powers the time has come to take matters into their own hands…
Widowed Nessa lives alone in her house near the ocean. In the quiet hours, she hears voices belonging to the dead – who will only speak to her.
On the cusp of fifty Harriett’s marriage and career imploded, but her life is far from over – in fact, she’s undergone a stunning metamorphosis.
Jo spent years at war with her body. The rage that arrived with menopause felt like the last straw – until she discovers she’s able to channel it.
Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio discover the abandoned body of a teenage girl. The police have written off the victim. But the women have not. Their own investigations lead to more bodies, and a world of wealth where the rules don’t apply – and the realisation that laws are designed to protect villains, not the vulnerable.
Now three women will avenge the innocent and punish the guilty. IT’S TIME.

‘A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it with all my broken heart. Read it. You’ll love it’ Marian Keyes
‘I loved this wild mystery about a group of midlife women who have just about had enough. I couldn't put it down’ Erin Kelly
‘The Change is a proper smash-the-patriarchy read with tension and a compelling plot to boot. It gave me the same energy as Lessons in Chemistry, and I take my hat off to Harriett The Punisher and will be taking some life lessons from her. Loved it’ Harriet Tyce
‘Part crime thriller, part extended howl of pure rage, The Change takes a scalpel to the cancer of misogyny that infects every cell of western culture, with biting wit and a burning, righteous anger that never lets up. Powerful and original’ Tammy Cohen
‘A brilliant book. Thrilling, fast paced and original. I couldn’t stop reading’ Sarah Morgan
‘With a propulsive plot and characters that roar off the page, this is a novel that’s unafraid to take on societal misogyny while being satirical and even funny at the same time’ Guardian
‘[A] bewitching and satisfying mystery and thriller . . . A compelling read’ The Independent
‘I loved this book, in particular its three powerful independent no-nonsense female protagonists . . . A feminist thriller for our times’ Nina Pottell, Prima
‘A revenge fantasy and feminist fist-pump – and a balm for trying times’ Grazia
‘An addictive, fast-paced crime novel like nothing you’ve ever read before’ Red magazine
Great fun and easy listening, excellent narration

💚 This is more like Big Little Lies as if written by Nora Roberts. There’s a trio of women, a massive sinister plot and magic. I’ll go into the reasons you should listen to this in a moment. But first, I’ll just say that what didn’t quite work for me was the tone. As with the works of Roberts, it’s a bit too saccharine for my cold, dead British soul. And the messaging is very much in the hit-over-head style. Now for the good stuff.
💜 Listen to this for the totally addictive plot, which has more twists and turns than my hair in humid weather; for the badass women, and for the dose of justice in an unjust world.

SOUNDBITE
🎧 I’m not sure how, but I’ve never listened to January LaVoy before this. Her performance is reminiscent of Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) in Desperate Housewives. Her voice has a rich, luxuriant quality that feels like swimming in melted chocolate.
🎧 Overall, just good fun. I found it easy to differentiate characters and felt immersed in the story.
