Summary

‘A bold, breathless, provocative story of revenge.’ CHRIS WHITAKER
‘Got under my skin in a really terrifying way . . . Seriously impressive.’ AJAY CHOWDHURY

Rita Marsh is a good person.

By day, she runs a care home, looking after the elderly and infirm.

By night, she’s a vigilante, posing online as young girls and snaring the men who prey on them, exposing them for what they are.

Rita has successfully kept her two lives separate for years. But when an old classmate returns from her past, her two worlds start to collide. With both of her selves unravelling, Rita will have to choose between justice and revenge.

Is she a force for good – or will she become someone to fear?

An assured debut, tautly plotted, with a striking female lead and deft handling of its dark subject matter.’ LISA BALLANTYNE

Critic Reviews

One of the best books I’ve read all year. It constantly wrong-footed me and then got under my skin in a really terrifying way. Can’t believe it’s a debut - the writing was so assured and the plotting so tight. A seriously impressive book and a unique voice.

A bold, breathless, provocative story of revenge. Smart, incendiary, and deeply, darkly entertaining . . . I devoured it.

Critic Reviews

The Revenge of Rita Marsh kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing until the end. This is an assured debut by Nilesha Chauvet who has created an original and flawed protagonist in Rita and deals with taboo subjects unflinchingly in this pacy thriller.
