Sweetpea

De: C.J. Skuse

Narrado por: Georgia Maguire

TV series starring Ella Purnell now on Sky Atlantic!

The last person who called me ‘Sweetpea’ ended up dead…

’I haven’t killed anyone for three years and I thought that when it happened again I’d feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night’s sleep. Didn’t wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once.’

Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret.

Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhinannon’s life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list.

A kill list.

From the man on the Lidl checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge.

Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder…

Wow…. Twisted

I laughed out loud several times in the beginning. Her wit is hilarious. Then it got super twisted. Completely enjoyed this one.

There was a turning point where the killing became too much

Listening to this book, I loved it at first. But there was a turning point where it became so dark and so weird and so disturbing that it just crossed the line for me. I don’t wanna give away any spoilers. Of course I downloaded the next four books in the series Before it reached that turning point because I had already loved it so much. Now I’m not so sure if I want to listen to them. But I probably will. Loved the narrator so much. The writing was excellent, the dark sarcasm, that dry British humor… Loved all of that. The last quarter of the book though it sort of went downhill for me

AN ADDICTIVE AUDIOBOOK!

I'm definitely going to be listening to this story again! My new fave author! AMAZING!

Uniquely Horrifying & Comical
