'Breaking Point is raw, compelling, and ground-breaking; Coffey
puts the life of working mothers under a microscope. To say I loved
it is an understatement, I expect it will be a huge success.' Liz
Nugent 'A gripping, compulsive pageturner about what we expect from
women, especially mothers. It's going to be a massive hit.' Marian
Keyes 'Both page-turner and gripping courtroom drama, this has much
to say about the expectations and judgement put on women when they
become mothers. Prepare to feel devastated and enraged all at
once.' Heat One mistake could cost her everything. Susannah has two
beautiful daughters, a high-flying medical career, a successful
husband and an enviable life. Her hair is glossy, her clothes are
expensive; she truly has it all. But when - on the hottest day of
the year - her strict morning routine is disrupted, Susannah finds
herself running on autopilot. It is hours before she realises she
has made a devastating mistake. Her baby, Louise, is still in the
backseat of the car and it is too late to save her. As the press
close in around her, Susannah is put on trial for negligence. It is
plain to see that this is not a trial, it's a witch hunt. But what
will the court say? Readers love Breaking Point: 'A genuine

Chamberlain' ***** 'If you want an addictive, pacey read, this is

***** 'A very thought-provoking story that will no doubt resonate
with parents everywhere' Sun 'Powerful' Best 'A rare treat, an
emotional thriller steeped in humanity. I read it in a single
sitting!' John Boyne 'Gripping, unswerving, heart-breaking, you'll
read this book through parted fingers - and learn a crucial lesson
as you go.' Celia Walden, author of Payday 'Really enjoyed this
terrifyingly plausible debut, with much to say about parental guilt
and how society treats working motherhood.' Katherine Faulkner,
author of Greenwich Park 'An incredibly powerful thriller with real
emotional depth - and a chillingly relatable storyline.' TM Logan,
author of The Holiday
