What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Three women. One Killer.
Talking to strangers has never been more dangerous...
When the body of forty-four-year-old Karen Simmons is found abandoned in remote woodland, journalist Kiki Nunn is determined this will be the big break she so desperately needs.
Because she has a head start on all the other reporters. Just a week before Karen was killed, Kiki interviewed her about the highs and lows of mid-life romance. Karen told her all about kissing strangers on the beach under the stars, expensive meals, roses. About the scammers, the creeps, the man who followed her home the other night...
While the police appear to be focusing on local suspects, Kiki sets out to write the definitive piece on one woman's fatal search for love. But she will soon learn that the search for truth can be just as deadly...

Another fiendishly plotted crime novel from Fiona Barton, highlighting the grubby underbelly of the dating scene. I predict a bestseller.
Penny Batchelor
-
Well imagined, cleverly plotted and with a completely surprising final twist.
Marsali Taylor
-
Another red-hot thriller from the author of The Widow and The Child.
My Weekly
-
Barton effortlessly toggles between each woman’s viewpoint, maintaining suspense as she builds to the plot’s devastating resolution. Fans of Mark Billingham’s Tom Thorne novels will devour this.
Publishers Weekly
-
A blisteringly good, miss-your-stop read that raises some timely issues such as online dating, violence against women and victim blaming. Fiona Barton at her best.
Diane Jeffrey
