In Payday, three women—each with her own complicated relationship to the same charismatic man—are drawn together by an act of vengeance. When the charming and powerful entrepreneur, J., is found dead, the question isn't just who did it—but why. Narrated through shifting perspectives, the story unfolds with growing tension as secrets, resentments, and moral dilemmas surface in the wake of his death. Celia Walden crafts a compelling narrative that explores what happens when justice isn’t served—and when women take matters into their own hands. Gripping, topical, and unapologetically bold, this is a thriller that questions the price of silence and the cost of speaking up.
