‘Superbly crafted with heart-stopping twists and chills galore. A new star has arrived in the thriller firmament’

Thriller of the Year, THE TIMES

‘A seriously stylish, hugely compelling mystery: Charlotte Philby redefines a male-dominated genre with her brilliantly complex female characters. I was utterly gripped’

LUCY FOLEY

‘I fell into the vivid, frightening world Charlotte Philby creates so skilfully and didn’t resurface until long after I’d turned the last page. Her characters are so real you genuinely fret over their safety in their jobs and personal lives. Everything about this book feels as plausible as if it might happen tomorrow. She is a hugely original and talented writer’

JANE CASEY

‘A Double Life confirms Charlotte Philby as the master of a sub-genre she basically invented, dealing in the dangerous area where working motherhood and international espionage collide. Heart-breaking, gripping and always beautifully written, I can’t wait to see what she does next’

ERIN KELLY

‘Brilliantly executed and tense’

SUNDAY TIMES

‘Terribly compelling … persuasive and absorbing’

OBSERVER

‘Philby is creating her own niche of beautifully observed, fast-paced, multi-layered novels … In Gabriela and Isobel, Philby develops two fascinating characters who have to face challenges that women the world over will recognise, but rarely get to read about on the page. A Double Life is a wonderful novel’

HOLLY WATT

‘A pacy, gripping read that kept us on the edge of our seats’

INDEPENDENT

‘I like a novel where the intrepid investigative journalist and the Foreign Office rising star are both women. And where two separate stories eventually converge around a conspiracy that touches the very top of the establishment and destroys everything’

EVENING STANDARD

‘Dark and compelling’

BELLA

‘As innovative a spy novel as we might expect from the granddaughter of Kim Philby … A gripping account of two complex lives’
