DESCRIPTION
Darkly humorous and riveting new novel from bestselling author 'TWISTY AND WITTY' Adam Kay
Gay Rebecca meets The Talented Mr Ripley via Notes on a Scandal in the latest novel from bestselling author, Justin Myers.
'ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING WRITERS AROUND' Mhairi McFarlane
'DELICIOUSLY DARK' Bobby Palmer
Laurie Blount, enfant terrible of the West End, the voice of a generation, a shining star. Also: dead.
Very, very dead.
Killed in a car crash in the middle of the night, Laurie exited this world the way he lived his life - dramatically and dangerously.
Laurie's husband Jo and best friend Vivi must step out from grief's shadow and face life without him. Until rumours of an unpublished memoir begin to circulate. Waspish and wicked, these confessions reveal a side to Laurie nobody really knew . or would admit to knowing.
Jo and Vivi are about to discover that comedy and tragedy are the same mistakes, made under different lighting. If they are ever to find peace in the future, they will need to lift the curtain on Laurie's past - as well as their own.
Can a dead man shatter your life, one chapter at a time?
'Witty and devastatingly astute . Myers writes his characters masterfully' Laura Kay, author of Wild Things
'Defied my expectations in all the best ways' Louise Hare, author of Harlem After Midnight
'You'll wish Laurie Blount was your friend. Until you very much don't'
Carl Anka, author and journalist
