It was a dark and stormy night (or an unusually warm evening in Edinburgh, Scotland) when No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab proposed an absurd idea to longtime friend and screenwriter Cat Clarke: that they should write a book together. V had made quite a name for herself, with more than twenty books, including the the recent bestseller Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, but had sworn she'd never co-write a novel. While Cat, following a tumultuous career as an editor and the author of several YA novels, including Girlhood and Entangled, had fled the publishing industry to work in the even more tumultuous film industry, swearing she'd never return to books. And yet, fate - and an irresistible idea - made liars of them both. That night, as they switched from tea to something stronger, Evelyn Clarke was born.
'A cracking read' Val McDermid ‘Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse ‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter ‘A hugely entertaining and thrilling locked-room thriller’ B A Paris 'Full of twists and turns … A must-read for any mystery fan!' G.T. Karber ‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd ‘I was absolutely hooked from the beginning and then practically inhaled the rest of the novel. It's funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable! I laughed and I winced. I hated and adored seeing my friends in publishing portrayed so cleverly/accurately/sardonically. The twists and turns are gorgeously unexpected and the characters brilliantly drawn. I just know readers will LOVE it as much as I did.’ Sarah Crossan 'A wonderfully twisty mystery that plays with all the tropes we know so well. An absolute delight to read!' Phoenicia Rogerson
