Sweetpea - c. j. skuse

If you like your thrillers darkly comic and outrageous this ticks all the boxes The Sun The last person who called me Sweetpea ended up dead.

I havent killed anyone for three years and I thought that when it happened again Id feel bad.

Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky.

But no.

Nothing.

I had a blissful nights sleep.

Didnt wake up at all.

And for once, no bad dream either.

This morning I feel balanced.

Almost sane, for once.

Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog.

but shes got a killer secret.

Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhinannons life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled.

By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying.

By evening she dutifully listens to her friends plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list.

A kill list.

From the man on the Lidl checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannons ready to get her revenge.

Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder.
