Description

Winner of the Lucy Cavendish Prize for fiction, The Loyal Servant is a fast-paced murder mystery and chart-topping political thriller.

"A brilliantly-paced thriller... Perfectly balanced between character and plot. Very gripping and suspenseful" - Sophie Hannah

Caroline Barber is a civil servant, busy at work trying to avoid being laid off and busy at home holding her noisy and demanding family together. Her dull daily routine is shattered when she discovers her boss - a senior politician - dead at his desk. Although the pills and whiskey bottle point to suicide, Caroline is certain he would never take his own life. 

Unable to accept the official version of events, she sets out to uncover the real reason the minister had to die and quickly discovers a web of secrets and lies spun by some very powerful men. Enlisting the help of a ruthless newspaper reporter, Caroline continues to dig, taking greater and greater risks until she uncovers a conspiracy shocking enough to bring down the government.

Out of her depth and putting the safety of her family in jeopardy, will Caroline get the chance to expose the corruption? Or will she be silenced for good?

A murder mystery with a killer twist: everything that happens to Caroline could happen to you. Anyone who's ever worked in an office should scroll up and download this book now. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop.
