Rita Marsh is a good person. By day, she runs a care home, looking after the elderly and infirm. By night, she’s a vigilante, posing online as young girls and snaring the men who prey on them, exposing them for what they are. Rita has successfully kept her two lives separate for years. But when an old classmate returns from her past, her two worlds start to collide. With both of her selves unravelling, Rita will have to choose between justice and revenge. Is she a force for good – or will she become someone to fear?

One of the best books I’ve read all year. It constantly wrong-footed me and then got under my skin in a really terrifying way. Can’t believe it’s a debut – the writing was so assured and the plotting so tight. A seriously impressive book and a unique voice.
Ajay Chowdhury
A bold, breathless, provocative story of revenge. Smart, incendiary, and deeply, darkly entertaining . . . I devoured it.
Chris Whitaker
An assured debut, tautly plotted, with a striking female lead and deft handling of its dark subject matter.
Lisa Ballantyne
The Revenge of Rita Marsh kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing until the end. This is an assured debut by Nilesha Chauvet who has created an original and flawed protagonist in Rita and deals with taboo subjects unflinchingly in this pacy thriller.
Nina Millns
A masterful and utterly compelling revenge thriller.
A. E. Gauntlett
Pacy and absorbing, this is a novel that deals with complex and dark issues, with heart.
L. V. Matthews
Powered by the twin engines of female rage and sexual repression Chauvet has created a potent thriller for the post-Me Too age.
Charlotte Vassell
A first-class thriller from a debut author . . . An engaging and thought-provoking read that deftly handles some tough themes.
Prima – Nina Pottell
Deeply impressive . . . an imaginative debut.
Daily Mail
It’s a long time since I’ve read a thriller that is quite so well written on a subject that I haven’t seen tackled before.
Liz Nugent
Such compulsive reading. Covering dark, disturbing topics, its ferocious energy takes you on a wild, thought-provoking ride.
