The Golden Cage: A novel (Random House Large Print) Paperback – Large Print, July 21, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

An 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

She looked down at the table, unable to meet their gaze.
A brief moment of hesitation. Then a sympathetic voice.
“There’s an awful lot of blood. From such a small body. But I don’t want to speculate until a medical examiner has made an evaluation."
Faye nodded. Someone gave her a transparent plastic cup of water, she was shaking so much as she raised it to her lips that a few drops ran down her chin and dripped onto her blouse. The blonde policewoman with the kind blue eyes leaned forward and gave her a tissue to dry herself with.
She wiped herself slowly. The water was going to leave nasty blotches on the silk blouse. Not that it mattered any more.
“There’s no doubt, then? None at all?"
The female police officer glanced at her colleague, then shook her head. She chose her words carefully, “Like I said, a doctor needs to reach a ver-dict based on the evidence at the crime scene. But as things stand, everything points toward the same explanation: that your ex- husband, Jack, has killed your daughter."
Faye closed her eyes and stifled a sob.

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 love something I hadn’t figured out….this was great in that respect.
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.

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.
