I have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die.

Of course, it helps that I'm the one killing them.

The night after her father's funeral, Claire meets Lucas in a bar. Lucas doesn't know it, but it's not a chance meeting. One thoughtless mistyped email has put him in the crosshairs of an extremely put-out serial killer. But before they make eye contact, before Claire lets him buy her a drink, even before she takes him home and carves him up into little pieces, something about that night is very wrong. Because someone is watching Claire. Someone who is about to discover her murderous little hobby.

The thing is, it's not sensible to tangle with a part-time serial killer, even one who is distracted by attending a weekly bereavement support group and trying to get her art career off the ground. Let the games begin...

Dexter meets Killing Eve in this superb thriller, perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family and My Sister the Serial Killer.

Critic reviews

'I absolutely loved this book. The combination of dark themes and black comedy is spot on.' - EMMA CURTIS

'If Bret Easton Ellis ever went to grief counselling, this would be just the kind of brilliant book he'd write.' - PHILIPPA EAST

I want to say I really enjoyed this audiobook but I felt the narration let it down. It had some cracking funny moments but they weren’t executed well. Every now and then, a line would be delivered perfectly and I’d laugh out loud as the narrator hit a stride but overall it just didn’t hit the mark.

Storyline was good and worth a listen.

Quirky great first novel

Loved this read. A fabulous mix of horrific and laugh-out loud moments that make this book thoroughly brilliant. Peppered with both hilarious and troubled characters that keep you invested and a storyline that has you rooting for the protagonist throughout, despite her madness! Loved this book to the end and the read brilliantly by Imogen Church.

Brilliant debut. Both crazy and hilarious!

A well written book with great characters but the storyline just didn’t grab me enough.
