‘Single White Female' meets ‘The Perfect Nanny' in Magpie by Elizabeth Day, "a pacy, stylish thriller in which suspense is accompanied by fist-pumping feminism" (The Guardian), about a perfect couple and their seemingly perfect roommate—that is, until she threatens to destroy everything they've worked so hard to create. An instant international bestseller, Magpie is a tense, twisting novel about mothers and children, envy and possession, and the dangers of getting everything you've ever dreamed of. “Magpie is a gorgeous thriller-manifesto that I am going to recommend to every single person I know. Elizabeth Day has written that rare book I always go hunting for, something that will keep me breathless with suspense but also buoyant with good energy. It is both sinister and comforting, outrageous but grounded, with a head-spinning plot twist that makes all the sense in the world, yet will take you completely by surprise. There are so many books in the world, and we are better for most of them, but Magpie is a book that needed to exist in the world. It is the book that was missing.” –Lisa Taddeo, author of Animal and Three Women
