Purchase options and add-ons

An over-the-top psychological thriller that tells the story of the scorned wife of a billionaire and her delicious plot to get revenge and bring him to his knees—a "sexy, deliciously dark journey" (Los Angeles Times) from a global superstar.

Faye has loved Jack since they were students at business school. Jack, the perpetual golden boy, grew up wealthy, unlike Faye, who has worked hard to bury a dark past. When Jack needed help launching a new company, Faye left school to support him, waitressing by day and working as his strategist by night. When the business took off, Faye stayed home and cared for their daughter.

Now, she is wealthier than she ever imagined, but more and more removed from the excitement of the business world. And none of the perks of wealth make up for the fact that Jack has begun to treat her coldly. When Faye discovers that he's having an affair, the polished façade of their life cracks wide open. Faye is alone, emotionally shattered, and financially devastated—but hell hath no fury like a woman with a violent past bent on vengeance. Jack is about to get exactly what he deserves—and so much more. In this splashy, electrifying story of sex, betrayal, and secrets, a woman's revenge is a brutal but beautiful thing.

A Parade Best Book of the Summer

O Magazine Best Book of the Summer
A
Glamour Best Book of 2020
A
PopSugar Most Anticipated Book of the Year

"The Golden Cage is a fast-paced psychological thriller about betrayal, sex, money, and a scorned wife’s revenge à la Gone Girl."
— Dana Vogel, Buzzfeed

"The doyenne of Swedish crime fiction serves up a propulsive tale of a scorned woman who seeks to crush the husband who betrayed her and gets back at him by surreptitiously stealing his multimillion-dollar company out from under him. There’s enough haute couture, Cava, and hot sex to sate a devotee of romance fiction, but the real satisfaction comes in watching our heroine reclaim her fierceness.”
O Magazine

"At long last, the thriller genre is serving up a novel that truly deserves to be mentioned alongside Gone Girl. Camilla Läckberg's The Golden Cage is a riveting story of female revenge that centers on Faye, the wife of a billionaire who brings her husband to his knees after she discovers his infidelity.”
PopSugar

"A fabulous, frothy novel."
New York Post

"A heart-pumping tale of twisty revenge. This sexy psychological thriller is Big Little Lies meets Gone Girl meets The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
PopSugar

“An extremely satisfying thriller from the ever-compelling Camilla Läckberg,
The Golden Cage begins with an anxious housewife trapped in a loveless marriage that she’s determined to hold together, and soon evolves into one of the most twisted and triumphant revenge thrillers I’ve ever come across.”
— Molly Odintz, CrimeReads

"Written by European superstar Läckberg, this is a twisty tale set squarely inside the world of the very rich and very fabulous... Get that preorder on."
— Glamour

“Comparisons to 
Gone Girl and Lisbeth Salander will undoubtedly be drawn, and the cunning revenge plot does justify those parallels, but there are satisfying themes of redemption, loyalty, and power here that push the story beyond vengeance. A darkly glamorous and utterly absorbing departure.”
Booklist

“Läckberg outdoes herself with this delectable tale of revenge... Sexy... exquisite... scorching... The poignant insights into women’s capacity for self-sacrifice, multidimensional characterizations, and celebration of female ingenuity will resonate with many. Läckberg reinforces her position as the thriller queen of Scandinavia.”
— Publishers Weekly, starred

"This is
Big Little Lies meets Gone Girl with some 9 to 5 tossed in for good measure... A deliciously inventive thriller brimming with sex, secrets, and scandal.” 
Kirkus

"
The Golden Cage is a twisting, brutal tale of betrayal and revenge. Lackberg paints a vivid portrait of a dark and complicated anti-heroine who is both the abused and abuser, victim and victimizer. A chilling, timely read sure to thrill her international legion of fans!” 
— Lisa Unger, New York Times best-selling author of The Stranger Inside

"A sexy, sensational novel with intoxicating vengeance and an unexpected tenderness—
The Golden Cage is tensely and skillfully drawn."
— Karin Slaughter, author of nineteen international best-selling novels

"It's about time that Americans get to savor the delicious twists and bad behavior that mark a Camilla Läckberg thriller.
The Golden Cage is a wonderful, take-no-prisoners mashup of Gone Girl, Billions, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
—Chris Bohjalian, best-selling author of The Flight Attendant and The Red Lotus

“Camilla Lackberg is a master of psychological suspense: she grabbed me by the throat with this sharply written, wildly entertaining tale of wealth, power and revenge and kept me up straight through the night.
The Golden Cage may be my first exposure to Europe's "Queen of Crime" but it certainly won't be my last. I'm a Läckberg fan for life.”
— Cristina Alger, New York Times bestselling author of Girls Like Us

Highly entertaining!
This was a wild and sexy ride! I've read previous books by this author from her Fjallbacka series, but they didn't prepare me for this crazy, fun stand alone.Fay Adelheim is married to Jack, a rich and successful Swedish businessman and they have a young daughter.She has sacrificed everything for Jack, forgoing her education to help finance his climb to the top.But Jack isn't grateful, he's forgotten all she has done, and he treats her badly.After she finds out about one of his affairs, he dumps her for a younger woman.She is left with nothing, emotionally and financially.Devastated and infuriated, she begins to plot her revenge. And she will stop at absolutely nothing to attain it.This twisted psychological thriller was disturbing and unpredictable, but highly entertaining.With many unlikable, but intriguing characters.I recommend this steamy, well written story if you're looking for something a bit different.Thank you Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group for the e-ARC via NetGalley.

Let’s be honest it did take me awhile to read this book, but the times I did pick it up, I couldn’t put it back down. There is nothing more heartier than revenge and this why I loved the book. The twists were layered out perfectly, even to the jaw dropping last sentence.

This book I went back & forth, with reading and audio, if I had to say a dislike it would be the audio near the first 1/3 of the book, the voice did not “grab you” in my opinion(if you know what I mean), but she, narrator, did pick it up in suspense as she read on, which made it so much better.

I recommended 5 stars because of the well played out suspense, twists from the writer, and being relatable to any scorned woman. The characters were very well written and it came across as if you knew them inside and out, by their true character and intentions as a fictional person.

A must read for anyone who enjoys the partake in karma, and to slowly watch a woman grow into her best self and overcome heartache.

I sometimes felt It should have been Young Adult, but easy read is more like it. The second half was worth the first, and the ending worth it all.

This book is phenomenal! The protagonist Faye lives with a secret and violent past. When her idealic and idolized husband dismisses her and their marriage like flicking a bug off his shoulder, Faye finds herself emotionally shattered and financially devastated. It is then she vows for revenge and in doing so discovers her husband has a secret of his own. One that will pull out all of the stops for Faye as she plots and plans and is willing to stop at nothing until her husband gets exactly what he deserves. This book is sexually charged and viciously plotted with an ending you never would have guessed.

Faye has two things that set her apart from so many other women who are dumped unceremoniously by their rich husbands looking for something fresh and new to play with. The one I liked best was Faye's head for business, and since the author is a businesswoman herself, I enjoyed watching this part of The Golden Cage unfold. The second thing-- her violent childhood-- keeps readers off balance throughout the book, mostly because her past is revealed very slowly, one crumb at a time. Is Faye going to decide that reducing Jack and his business to dust isn't enough and go for something more visceral? Wondering about this is what fuels the pace of the story and keeps us wanting more.

There's a large amount of graphic sex in The Golden Cage, and I have to admit that I got tired of it after awhile. All right, all ready. I know where the various parts go. I know the feelings produced when this part meets that part. Can we please get back to the rest of the story? I know why Läckberg does this. Men-- especially rich men who are used to having every whim catered to-- can be tools in the hands of a woman who knows how best to use all those working parts to make the man's eyes roll back in his head. Sex is a tool. But I was still glad when Faye got past that part of her plan.

If you're in the mood for a sexy, fast-paced thriller with a main character who doesn't reveal her complete agenda, The Golden Cage is one fine read.

A very unique revenge thriller with entertainingly macabre twists and turns. This novel is noted as Book 1, so it leaves the reader wondering what titillating storyline Book 2 will hold.

It's a "noir" story with a message that stays with you. Women give up their power to appeal to men and lose themselves in doing do. This is a story about one victim getting back on her feet and Bain by revenge. Friendship between women supported the plot which would not have developed without their support. The focus is on rightful revenge. Well done!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Patrick and Erica
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2022
Half of this book was good but the first half, whilst essential in the end, spent too much time on explicit sex scenes. It was virtually porn in fact!
But it does become a good tale on a woman’s revenge against a pompous husband who thinks he can always control her even after he leaves her for another woman.
But overall I still long for Camilla’s brilliant crime stories involving Patrick and Erica. Please consider bringing them back soon Ms. Lackberg.
