That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher.

Praise for CJ Skuse:
‘This darkly comic novel…has the potential to become a cult classic’ Daily Mail
‘Dark, depraved and devilishly delicious. A full throttle savage and satirical thriller’ John Marrs
The humorous undertones of this crime fiction novel are a testament to C.J. Skuse's ability to weave a narrative that is as thrilling as it is blackly comedic. Rhiannon's domestic life, once a source of stability, becomes a backdrop for her feminist struggle against her own dark impulses.
For fans of Freida Mcfadden (The Tenant), L.M. Chilton (Everyone in the Group Chat Dies), John Marrs (When You Disappeared), Sarah Bonner (Her Sweet Revenge), and C. J. Tudor (The Chalk Man).
