Waterstones Says

One of crime fiction’s most original writers returns with a fiendishly twisty thriller featuring a jailbird make-up artist whose conviction for killing her lover rests on shaky ground.

Longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize 2021

The entertaining, moving, and unpredictable new thriller from multi-award-winning bestseller Chris Brookmyre.

Millie Spark can kill anyone.

A special effects make-up artist, her talent is to create realistic scenes of bloody violence.

Then, one day, she wakes to find her lover dead in her bed.

Twenty-five years later, her sentence for murder served, Millicent is ready to give up on her broken life - until she meets troubled film student and reluctant petty thief Jerry.

Together, they begin to discover that all was not what it seemed on that fateful night ... and someone doesn't want them to find out why.
