BECAUSE OLD PEOPLE DON'T JUST SOLVE MURDERS... A razor-sharp, edge-of-your-seat new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Richard and Judy Book Club pick, My Lovely Wife '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.--Praise for Samantha Downing'Dark, sly and delicious' J.P. Delaney
'Wry and dark and witth and clever' Sarah Pinborough'A brilliant psychological black comedy' Daily Mail
'An irresistibly dark tale' T.M. Logan
