Harriet Walker is the fashion editor of The Times. She has been a newspaper journalist for more than ten years and has also written for Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, among others. Born in Glasgow and raised in Sheffield, Harriet Walker studied English at Trinity College, Cambridge, and now lives in South London with her husband and their daughter. The New Girl is her first novel.
“With elegant prose and complex, vivid
characters, The New Girl is a delicious slow burn of a
thriller. Harriet Walker has an impressive hold on how women really
think, and she sweeps the reader into the book’s suspenseful
world, skillfully capturing both the sparkly mania of the fashion
world and the strange bell jar of new motherhood. I can’t wait
to read more from her.”—Andrea Bartz, author of The
Herd and The Lost Night
“Keenly observed and brimming with tension, The New Girl is a
must-read.”—Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling
author of I Let You Go
“Taut, stylish, utterly gripping . . . satisfied all my thriller
cravings and my love of fashion-world gossip.”—Lucy Foley, author
of The Guest List
“I was so absorbed by The New Girl. In this suspenseful debut,
Harriet Walker applies the finest of brushes to those shades of
gray between friendship and rivalry—not so much domestic noir as
domestic gris. I recommend.”—Louise Candlish, author of Those
People
“A wickedly funny psychological thriller that’s in turn brutal and
tender.”—Publishers Weekly
