A brand new darkly humourous serial killer thriller for fans of How to Kill Your Family and The Thursday Murder Club.

***

'So compelling, I couldn't put it down' Natasha Bache, author of 12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas

'Let me tell you, I LOVED THIS BOOK! The setting, the characters, the plot, and even the ending...I just could not put this one down. Filled with humor and thriller vibes, this is this years MUST Summer read'

What happens when a serial killer forgets that he's a serial killer?

At Sunset House the tea is barely introduced to a teabag, the carpets are permanently flecked with glitter and care assistant Jolene would rather be watching daytime television than caring for the elderly - but someone might just have confessed to murder.

Most think Gilbert's sudden claim - 'When I killed her' - is likely to be the dementia talking. Or a spoiler for Midsomer Murders. Probably. Now, between bingo, staff drama and a suspicious game of pass the parcel, someone's about to dig up more than buried memories...

Darkly funny, sharply observant and unquestionably deadly, this is no Thursday Murder Club.

See what readers have to say:

'A heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat... one of the best books this year! It was fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that was extremely well executed'

'I LOVED the characters - quirky, flawed, fascinating especially Will, who was written with so much depth and heart. The dark setting? Chef's kiss! Julie Lancaster knows how to set the mood - creepy, suspenseful, but also hilarious in the darkest ways'

'Really gripping... Full of twists and turns. You'll never guess what is coming next'

'Like The Thursday Murder Club but with a twist'

'A dark, funny and yet serious thriller of a read! Killings and kidnapping galore'

'A twist-filled thriller that constantly kept me second-guessing what I thought I knew. Unpredictable, cleverly crafted read... kept me hooked until the end'

'Kept me guessing from start to finish'

'Mystery, lots of twists and you're never quite sure who the abductor might be. But it also has an emotional depth to it too'

'This book kept me on my toes. I was entertained, stressed, scared, and happy all at the same time!'

'If you're into serial killer thrillers with a touch of dark humor, this book is right up your street'
