* WINNER OF THE CRIME FICTION LOVER BEST DEBUT NOVEL AWARD *A welcome addition to darkly humorous female serial killer novels - GUARDIANUtterly unique, an absolute rollercoaster of a read - DAILY MAILSplendidly funny and buoyant - DAILY EXPRESSI have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die.

Of course, it helps that Im the one killing them.

The night after her fathers funeral, Claire meets Lucas in a bar. Lucas doesnt know it, but its not a chance meeting. One thoughtless mistyped email has put him in the crosshairs of an extremely put-out serial killer. But even before they make eye contact, before Claire lets him buy her a drink, 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, its 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. Claire will do anything to keep her secret hidden - not to mention the bodies buried in her garden. Let the games begin...
