What to expect

Sweetpea soon to be a major TV series starring Ella Purnell

She’s back and killing for two…

Rhiannon Lewis should be happy.

Her cheating fiancé is in jail – framed for the depraved killing spree she committed. Her ex-lover is chopped up and buried where no-one will find him.

But there’s one small problem. She’s pregnant.

And as much as Rhiannon wants to continue working her way through her kill lists, a small voice inside is trying to make her stop.

Now Rhiannon has to choose – motherhood or murder.
