Book Overview
"A chilling, impeccably plotted novel" (Cosmopolitan UK) by the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Praised as "extraordinarily skillful" by award-winning writer Anita Brookner, Deborah Moggach has written an extremely powerful novel about the beautiful, bright, and ambitious Natalie, who should be doing something with her life. But instead, she's stuck in a dead-end job and instead of improving her place in the world by her own efforts, takes advantage of the honesty of those around her, ultimately leaving them damaged and broken. Of course she denies responsibility, even when confronted with undeniable evidence that she is involved. So, when she sees a chance to change her life, she doesn't hesitate to take it, even if it's at the expense of someone else. After all, it's only a minor crime. Nobody's going to get hurt. But Natalie's actions actually do have unforeseen and tragic consequences, and the ultimate question is will she be capable to meet the final demand to own up to what she has done? Emotionally taut and beautifully written, Final Demand is a cautionary tale about the battle between greed and love, and our own frailty in the face of temptation.

Natalie is beautiful and bright. Her life, however, is going nowhere, and she's running out of time. She has a brilliant scam in mind that will hurt no one, but to work it, she has to have a last name that begins with T. One day a repairman comes to her flat to cut off the gas for non-payment, a loser (who lives with his mother and collects reptiles) named Colin Taylor. So Natalie marries him. But the scam does hurt people. In fact, it causes awful tragedy.Deborah Moggach writes from such a deep understanding of her characters and with such acute observaton it's almost painful.
