'Assured and atmospheric.' - The Guardian 'A plot as twisty as the streets of its dazzling Tangier setting.' - The Daily Mail unputdownable.' - Melissa Katsoulis, The Times a riveting tale of obsessive love.' - Fanny Blake, Woman & Home 'The shade of Patricia Highsmith hangs over this sinister and serpentine thriller that really got me by the throat. If The Talented Mr Ripley was recast with female leads and transplanted to Tangier, it might read a lot like Tangerine.' - Vogue 'Girl on a Train meets The Talented Mr Ripley under the Moroccan sun. 'As if Donna Tartt, Gillian Flynn and Patricia Highsmith had collaborated in a screenplay to be filmed by Hitchcock - suspenseful and atmospheric.' - Joyce Carol Oates Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group ISBN: 9781408709979 Number of pages: 400 Weight: 315 g Dimensions: 196 x 126 x 28 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Tangerine is an extraordinary debut, so tightly wound, so evocative of 1950s Tangier, and so cleverly plotted that it will leave you absolutely breathless. Then Alice's husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind. Lucy, always fearless and independent, helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country.īut soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice - she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat.

But Lucy is standing there, trying to make things right.

After the horrific accident at Bennington, the two friends - once inseparable roommates - haven't spoken in over a year. The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. The perfect read for fans of Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith, set in 1950s Morocco, Tangerine is a gripping psychological literary thriller.
