Summary

Ruth Watkins is pretending to be a serial killer....

Two years ago, Ruth was an ambitious journalist on the trail of a serial killer with a very specific calling card. Then her best friend became the latest victim, and Ruth's life fell apart. When police shelve the case, Ruth decides there is only one way to force them to keep looking: make him kill again. Or at least, make it look like he has....

The good news: working at a funeral home has its perks, like access to fresh hearts she can use to stage convincing crime scenes.

The bad news: the real killer has noticed Ruth's "work" too, and now it's not just the police trying to catch her....

A darkly hilarious thriller about grief, revenge, and the surprisingly thin line between solving a murder and creative corpse management. Perfect for fans of How to Kill Your Family and Listen for the Lie.

One of the best books I have listened to this year. Equal parts comedy and psychological thriller. It had me giggling and shocked in equal measure, I also think this was aided by the choice of narrater. Imogen Church’s performance as Ruth was faultless. Highly recommend book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best audiobook I have listened to this year!

I laughed, I cringed, I cried. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and didn’t want it to end. Imogen is an excellent narrator and she definitely added to the story and enjoyment of listening to it.

Fantastic

This is my second book by this author and narrator. The narrator was great but I found the story a bit slow and took a while to get going.

An okay listen

A surprise find but well worth the listen. It’s darkly funny with a great story.

Brilliant!

I normally like Imogen Church but she was completely wrong for this book. It could have been funnier although the subject was very macabre. No I didn’t like this book
