‘This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American Psycho’ Red

Sweetpea is coming home at last…

Newly married, with a loving family surrounding her, everything's coming up roses for ex-serial killer Rhiannon Lewis, right?

Wrong.

Her husband has just been shot, and the daughter she left behind in the UK is desperately ill. She’s got no choice but to flee the States and return home, back to her roots, where she’s in danger of being recognised and arrested at any moment.

Only nothing is quite as it seems…

With a series of bad choices in front of her, and the authorities right behind, Rhiannon's in a hell of a hole and she needs to dig herself out of it pronto. But help can come from the most unlikely places. And even more unlikely people…

We need another book soon!

As always hilarious until the point. I read it in 10 hours Keep on coming

EXACTLY how I wanted it to end.

I was so nervous that this series would end poorly. I was scared I'd be disappointed after dozens of hours of joyful listening. I was not disappointed! The ending that I hoped for- that 'perfectly imperfect' wrap-up. So many LOL moments in this book- more than the others, actually. I'm sad that Sweet Peas story has ended...but I think the message will live on. I want to promote the heck out of this series! We need more bad seeds in this world, it seems. I loved the book and I'm sure you will too.

The best kind of anti-hero

This is a review for the entire series. At first it’s a bit much with the detailed sex but the series grows on you. After book one you’re not sure you should want to continue but then you start the second and Sweet pea draws you in even further. By the 5th book, you know it needs to end but you’ve become so attached to her that you can’t help but hope there will be a 5-10-15 years later book with an ending that blows you away. I’m not sure serial killers brains work quite like this but I hope that if there is someone(s) out there that is or becomes a real sweet pea, that there will also be some bad seeds to take care of her.

Bonding moments

I liked the friendship between Rhiannon and Nnedi. Them bouncing off each other definitely worked.

amazing

im sad to finish, but it was a fitting and satisfying ending. I wish there were going to be more !!! Brilliant writer and narrator
