Rebecca Sharpe
In this pacy thriller, a female con artist chooses the wrong woman as her target, and both women end up on the run for their lives.
Avalon Dale is a masterful grifter. She researches her victims thoroughly, kidnaps and sedates them, cleans out their bank accounts, and uses injections and hair clippers to change their appearance so that when they wake up, they can't easily prove who they are. For her last great score, Avalon's targeted Primrose Meath, and then she'll fade away to a life of ease and luxury—something she's dreamed of since a very tough childhood.
On paper, Prim is the perfect target: wealthy, workaholic, and distracted by her cheating husband. But when Avalon finds Prim's husband dead, she can't escape so easily—not when she's been mistaken for Prim who's now wanted for murder. The two women—opposites, enemies—are suddenly on the run together, and must learn to get along, to depend on each other to get away. And then, what starts as a cat-and-mouse run to the coast of England becomes a fight for their survival.

Critic reviews
“It’s a treat to find such an absorbing thriller starring two women; adding to it is the feeling of ambiguousness as Sharpe’s cutting illustrations of each protagonist’s mental struggle—and that of a third woman lurking in the book’s background—leave the reader wondering who the victim is here, if anyone.”—firstCLUE
“Fans of thrillers by Lucy Foley will enjoy this intriguing novel that explores the damage so-called 'harmless women' can inflict on themselves and others.”—Library Journal
"A powerful, propulsive and twisting thrill-ride. Harmless Women is a cat and mouse story of loyalty, rage, and ultimately, survival."--Chris Whitaker
"An intense, unsettling, and powerful tale of survival, Harmless Women will leave you breathless. Rebecca Sharpe's exquisitely drawn characters leap off the page and her sharp, atmospheric writing shows a gifted storyteller truly at the top of her game. Don't miss it."--Sarah Pinborough
"Harmless Women is a gripping, brilliant Thelma and Louise for our times. Dark, clever, enraging and moving, I raced through it – and I thought about Avalon and Prim long after I turned the last page."--Nicci Cloke
