Sticks and Stones

How far would you go to get revenge on your ex?




How far would you go for revenge on your ex?

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Sticks and Stones by Jo Jakeman, read by Erin Shanagher.
Imogen’s husband is a bad man. His ex-wife and his new mistress might have different perspectives but Imogen thinks she knows the truth. And now he’s given her an ultimatum: get out of the family home in the next fortnight or I’ll fight you for custody of our son.

In a moment of madness, Imogen does something unthinkable: she locks her husband in the cellar. Now she’s in control. But how far will she go to protect her son and punish her husband? And what will happen when his ex and his girlfriend get tangled up in her plans?

Sticks and Stones is a deliciously twisting psychological thriller from an unforgettable new voice.

'A revenge thriller to make you punch the air in solidarity’ Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends
‘A gripping story, sensitively told’ Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request
‘Deliciously dark and gripping’ Emily Koch, author of If I Die Before I Wake

Praise for Sticks and Stones

It's not often you get a thriller that is just as good at keeping you on the edge of your seat as it is at making you laugh - but Sticks and Stones is both. A deliciously dark and gripping debut.

Emily Koch, author of IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE

What a sensational debut - pacy, twisty and darkly funny with well-rounded characters. I loved it!

Roz Watkins, author of THE DEVIL'S DICE

Sticks and Stones is a gem of a debut with a unique premise, tightly-crafted plot and believable characters who get under your skin from the start. Incredibly well-observed and sensitive in its handling of difficult subjects, it is, above all, thoroughly entertaining. Highly recommended!

Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies

A revenge thriller to make you punch the air in solidarity, Sticks and Stones is a wickedly sharp, psychologically intense debut which announces Jo Jakeman as a future queen of grip lit.

Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends

I loved Sticks and Stones. A gripping story, sensitively told but also really funny: no mean feat given the subject matter!

Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request
