Summary

'A whip-smart whodunnit, this will keep you guessing' Red

'A fast-paced thriller with clever twists' Bella

Something bad happened last night. My best friend Posey is dead. The police think it was a tragic accident. I know she was murdered.

I’ve woken up with the hangover from hell, a stranger in my bed, and I’ve gone viral for the worst reasons.

There’s only one thing stopping me from dying of shame. I need to find a killer.

But after last night, I can’t remember a thing…

From the author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, don’t miss this wickedly witty and utterly addictive novel, perfect for fans of Bella Mackie, Dawn O’Porter and Killing Eve.

The perfect holiday listen

Great narration that had me gripped from the first few seconds. A really easy read, but with some deeper topics covered alongside the main murder mystery storyline.

Took a while to warm up but it had me in the end

A little bizarre but I really enjoyed it. It was perplexing that the death was dismissed without full investigation. Also for the police to ignore the obvious raoe is not realistic after all of the training they have had in recent years.
