THE TEMP

Book ID/图书代码: 12100018C00004

English Summary/英文概要: No one was going to replace her. Were they?

Carrie is a successful TV producer in a high pressure job. She’s talented, liked, and well-respected. She and her husband, Adrian, an award-winning screenwriter, decided years before that they didn’t want children. But now, just as they’re both at the pinnacle of their careers, she has discovered she is pregnant, and is shocked to find that she wants to keep the baby. But in a competitive industry where time off is seen as a sign of weakness, Carrie looks on the prospect of maternity leave with trepidation.

Enter Emma, the temp, who is everything she could wish for as her cover: smart, willing and charming. Carrie fears that Emma is manoeuvring her way into Carrie’s life, causing turmoil in both her marriage and her work as she does so. The problem is everyone else adores her . . .

Increasingly isolated from Adrian and her colleagues, Carrie begins to believe Emma has an agenda. Does Emma want her job? Or is she after even more?

The Temp is a twisting thriller about ambition, deception and betrayal by Michelle Frances, the number one bestselling author of The Girlfriend.

LIBRARY JOURNAL
Frances, Michelle. The Temp. Kensington Emma has long dreamed of being a screenwriter, so when a temp job to cover for Carrie Kennedy, one of London’s most sought-after producers, who’s on maternity leave, comes up, Emma makes a few résumé tweaks and lands the position. With Carrie out of the office, Emma charms the staff, offering her ideas and notes as everyone works through the newest production, written by Carrie’s husband, Adrian. Amid the diaper changing, Carrie is kept in the loop by Adrian and quickly learns that she needs to get back to the office before Emma takes over. Frances (The Girlfriend) returns with a mesmerizing novel that is part thriller, part domestic suspense. With chapters denoted by days and dates and of varying length, the story moves at a rapid pace. VERDICT The push and pull of characters who work to succeed from different angles create a story abounding with mysteries, revelations, and lies, making this novel one of a kind.
