Critic reviews

"Funny and furious and strangely uplifting. Grace is a bitter and beguiling anti-hero with a keen eye for social analysis - even in her most grisly deeds, you never stop rooting for her." (Pandora Sykes)

"Addictive.... Grace Bernard is one of the most intriguing and bewitching protagonists I've read in years." (Emma Gannon)

"Hilarious and dark." (Elle)

Great story,

Left me gasping for more. Couldn’t put it down. Had the paper back but no time. Glad I got to hear it.

Best listen in a long time!

This is so darkly funny, as much as Grace is an obvious sociopath you really do connect with her & find yourself backing her 😂 although the ending is an ending that is not expected!

Would 100% recommend, I’ve already told my friends about this book after only listening to the first 2 chapters & they’ve all downloaded it too!

Great story I was hooked

But so furious with the end. Loved 99% but physically shook my head at why such an underwhelming end was chosen, at such odds with the rest of the story. Very unsatisfying.

Easy to listen to

The whole book was a really good pace, I found myself really enjoying it and will definitely read another by Bella should she write one.
I found the ending a little disappointing, but actually I did make a change to a lot of your classic murder books!

Kind Hearts and Coronets

This is a good story, pretty much the same as Kind Hearts and Coronets minus some redeeming features and the narration is not great but still listenable.

Predictable ending

Loved the story up until the predictable ending.
Left me feeling unsatisfied and eye rolling.
However the journey to it is good.
