Nessa: The Seeker
Jo: The Protector
Harriett: The Punisher
With newfound powers the time has come to take matters into their own hands
After Nessa is widowed and her daughters leave for college, shes left alone in her house near the ocean. In the quiet hours, she hears voices belonging to the dead who will only speak to her.
On the cusp of fifty Harrietts marriage and career imploded, and she hasnt left her house in months. But her life is far from over in fact, shes undergone a stunning metamorphosis.
Jo spent thirty years at war with her body. The rage that arrived with menopause felt like the last straw until she discovers shes able to channel it.
Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio discover the abandoned body of a teenage girl. The police have written off the victim. But the women have not. Their own investigations lead them to more bodies and a world of wealth where the rules dont apply and the realisation that laws are designed to protect villains, not the vulnerable.
Now three women will avenge the innocent and punish the guilty. ITS TIME.

The Change is a proper smash-the-patriarchy read with tension and a compelling plot to boot. It gave me the same energy as Lessons in Chemistry, and I take my hat off to Harriett The Punisher and will be taking some life lessons from her. Loved it Harriet Tyce
