'A TWISTY, TURN-Y DELIGHT' OPRAH DAILY No 1 in HOTTEST NEW ROMANCE BOOKS OF SUMMER 2025

'Funny, sexy, clever . full of witty banter' Jane Casey, No. 1 bestselling author

What would you do if you thought your (curiously compelling) coworker was getting away with murder?

Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mould perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . including fields of unmarked graves.

The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.

Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn't come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can't help but wonder if, finally, he's found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.

Until Dolores asks for Jake's help to dispose of a body.

'This dark, witty romance has wickedly sharp edges' Alice Bell

'Brilliantly funny, fantastically original' Becky Hunter
