Synopsis

BECAUSE OLD PEOPLE DON'T JUST SOLVE MURDERS...

A razor-sharp, edge-of-your-seat new thriller from Sunday Times bestseller Samantha Downing

'Equal parts hilarious and disturbing... kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end!' Freida McFadden
'Sharp, sly and darkly hilarious' i
--

You’d never guess Lottie Jones had skeletons in her closet.

She’s lived in town for decades now. She’s getting older. She lives for the simple pleasures of weekly bingo games at church, and gossiping with her friends about their children’s love lives.

But when investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie’s past, and specifically about her connection to numerous unsolved murders, well, Lottie just can’t have that.

But getting away with murder is hard enough when you’re young. And when Lottie receives another annoying knock on the door, she realises this crime might just be the death of her…
