The Favourite by Rosemary Hennigan
A razor-sharp suspense novel about power and identity that asks the question: what do you do when there is a vast difference between what is right and what is legal?
'Juicy and dark.. a standout dark academia thriller, with shades of Donna Tartt's modern classic The Secret History and Emerald Fennell's revenge fantasy film Promising Young Woman... Jessica is a firecracker of a protagonist... Thanks to Hennigan's strong voice and full embrace of the bumpy, twisty nature of retribution and revenge, The Favourite positively sings.' * BookPage *
[Hennigan] brilliantly weaves an enraging and all too familiar narrative that spotlights the systemic disregard of women and the dismissal of sexual violence * Shondaland *
Hennigan's law degree is evident in her eloquent depictions of classroom discussions and her thoughtful meditations on justice. Readers will devour this satisfying tale of vengeance * Publisher's Weekly *
[A]n engaging thriller that entertains while it explores toxic relationships and abuse of power in a prestigious academic setting * Booklist *
A thoughtful, clever follow-up to Rosemary Hennigan's exceptionally good debut, The Favourite maintains the same high standard. A cat-and-mouse game between a law professor and his student breathes life and passion into moral issues of right, wrong and the limitations of the law. * Jane Casey, bestselling author of The Close *
