Seven women, inextricably linked by one man, must figure out which of them killed him in order to protect one another in this electrifying debut thriller. New Year's Eve, 1999. Seven women are gathered in a hotel room at midnight; a man's head sits in the center of the floor. They all had a motive to kill Jamie Spellman. They all swear they didn't. But in order to protect one another, they have to find out who did. The ex, who drowns her darkest secret in a hip flask as the woman she loves drifts further away.The wife, living out her fairytale marriage in a house tucked into woods so thick no one can hear a scream.The widow, praying to a past she no longer knows whether she can trust.The teenager, whose wide-eyed crush has trapped her in an unrecognizable future.The mother figure, battling nature versus nurture under the weight of her own guilt.The friend, forced to choose sides over and over, until she learns the price of choosing wrong.And the journalist, who brought them all together--but underestimated how far one of them would go to keep believing the story they'd been told. Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman's secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer. Marking the debut of an extraordinary new talent, Speak of the Devil explores the roles into which women are cast in the lives of terrible men...and the fallout when they refuse to play pretend for one moment longer.

Seven women stand in shock in a seedy room. A man's severed head sits in the centre of the floor. Each of the women has a very good reason to have done it, yet each swears she didn't. In order to protect each other, they must figure out who did.

This one just came out this week! 👏🏻 It's a fun whodunnit about a despicable man surrounded by women who would've loved to be the one to say they killed him. Alas, someone got there first. But who? Seven women's motives are revealed and it will keep you guessing til the end. 🔪

What an impressive debut novel! It opens with quite the hook— 7 women gather in an unused corner of a seedy motel with the decapitated head of the man who hurt them most lying before them. They all had reason to do it, but which one actually killed him? From 8 perspectives (the 7 women victimized by the victim himself plus the detective who investigates the death), this fast-paced read feels a little cumbersome at first but soon can‘t be put down!

Great mystery. It starts with a head, but only the head, of a man with a whole list of suspects. Any one of these women he did horrible things to might have killed him. But also, where is the rest of him?

I‘m on the fence about this one. W/ so many point of views, it sometimes felt choppy &I had a hard time connecting to any character. Jamie was obviously a horrible man who had wronged many people (these women in particular), &the mystery of who killed him when they all had motive was intriguing. I wish however that we didn‘t have quite so many POVs. Overall, I didn‘t love it or hate it, &I don‘t know that I‘ll remember it by the end of this year.
