Nessa: The Seeker

Jo: The Protector

Harriett: The Punisher

With newfound powers the time has come to take matters into their own hands…

After Nessa is widowed and her daughters leave for college, she’s left alone in her house near the ocean. In the quiet hours, she hears voices belonging to the dead – who will only speak to her.

On the cusp of fifty Harriett’s marriage and career imploded, and she hasn’t left her house in months. But her life is far from over – in fact, she’s undergone a stunning metamorphosis.

Jo spent thirty years at war with her body. The rage that arrived with menopause felt like the last straw – until she discovers she’s able to channel it.

Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio discover the abandoned body of a teenage girl. The police have written off the victim. But the women have not. Their own investigations lead them to more bodies and a world of wealth where the rules don’t apply – and the realisation that laws are designed to protect villains, not the vulnerable.

Now three women will avenge the innocent and punish the guilty. IT’S TIME.

Praise for THE CHANGE 'A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it with all my broken heart. Read it. You'll love it' Marian Keyes 'I loved this wild mystery about a group of midlife women who have just about had enough. I couldn't put it down' Erin Kelly 'Part crime thriller, part extended howl of pure rage, The Change takes a scalpel to the cancer of misogyny that infects every cell of western culture, with biting wit and a burning, righteous anger that never lets up. Powerful and original' Tammy Cohen 'A brilliant book. Thrilling, fast paced and original. I couldn't stop reading' Sarah Morgan 'How brilliant to read about strong, fabulous women - this is a great book. The Change will inspire women to feel empowered at a time when they feel their strength is waning - could be a life-changer! Fresh and fabulous, teeming with amazing characters, unputdownable - stays with you long after the last page is turned' Milly Johnson 'The Change is a gripping, powerful gut-punch of a book that left me feeling fully satisfied at such a rich, original and sparkling story with a punch-the-air, killer ending. This book is 🔥' Cressida McLaughlin 'Such a breath of fresh air. Beautifully written and vibrant . . . Miller has brilliantly spotted the reality of what happens psychologically and sprinkled on writerly magic to make a wonderfully layered and readable story. It will change the mainstream narrative about how we describe menopause and ageing. Bloody brilliant!' Kate Codrington, Second Spring 'I loved this book, in particular its three powerful independent no-nonsense female protagonists . . . A feminist thriller for our times' Nina Pottell, Prima 'A suspenseful story with great pacing, memorable characters, and an engaging voice.
