Summary

Trapped between life and the afterlife, three women meet and share their stories while discovering the truth about the men in their lives—and about themselves. Suspended in an eerie state of limbo, an entity called the Gatekeeper tells Nikki, Ronnie, and Mrs. Hawthorne they are on the cusp of entering the afterlife—but only if the women can persuade him that in their earthly lives, they knew the meaning of love. Fragments of their memories return, plunging them back into their pasts, and forcing them to face the desires, disappointments, addictions, lies, and obsessions they battled in life. But before time runs out, will they find the answer to the ultimate question: what is love? “Darkly funny and completely compelling, with brilliantly flawed characters you can’t help rooting for, even when they’re bad.” —Frances Quinn, author of The Smallest Man “Utterly mind blowing! If Stuart Turton had written Gone Girl it would look like this. Intelligent, compelling writing that is genre defining. Brilliant!” —Victoria Dowd, author of The Supper Club Murders “Gripping, thought-provoking and clever. I was hooked from the very first page.” —Nicola Gill, author of The Neighbours “Beautiful, edgy and the perfect debut. A tale crafted with heart, soul and sass.” —Keith A. Pearson, author of The ‘86 Fix

From suspicious salt crystals that form coded messages to chili powder blends that reveal unusual chemical compounds, every spice tells a story. But when Saffron discovers the victim was about to expose a massive food fraud operation targeting local restaurants, she realizes the killer is someone with deep knowledge of both spices and sabotage.

    "Marlowe! Here! Now!" screamed Lando King the editor and owner of the Newspaper where Jim Marlowe worked as a reporter. 
"Sounds like you got Lando really angry, said his friend Lance Alexander, who also worked there. 
"Yeah," Jim said and rushed off to their boss's office to see Lando. 
Jim timidly opened Lando's office door and walked scaredly into the room. 
"Marlowe what took you so long to get here, did you come here via Tasmania?" shouted Lando. Jim grimaced nervously. 
"No sir," said Jim, thinking it must have been the article he wrote for yesterday's paper. 
It was.  
"How dare you try to put such idealistic tripe in my paper," shouted Lando, throwing a pile of papers at Jim. They were the article he submitted for editing and the notes on it. 
"It wasn't tripe, Sir, it was the truth," Jim shouted back. 
It was his second mistake talking back to Lando the control freak. 
"The Earth does go round the Sun it's scientific a fact!" the livid Jim shouted. 
"You precocious upstart," said the skeptical Lando, "get out of my newspaper!" shouted Lando. 
"See you tomorrow, Mr. King, when you have calmed down a bit," said Jim. 
"No you are fired, never stain my floors and paper again," shouted a furious Lando. 
"No you can't fire me I quit," shouted Jim.
