Description
Dead models painted silver. Dressed like mannequins. Posed by a killer.
University of York media student – and elite gymnast – Cassie Simms is hailed as a national hero after she exposes a sex offender in a sting operation. Offered a lucrative modelling contract by Hexagon Sports, she dismisses the company’s shady reputation and becomes the face of their Modern Woman brand.
But when a masked assailant slays a co-worker and poses her as a mannequin, Cassie teams up with her reporter boyfriend Lyle to investigate. Then a second woman is murdered. Police are out of their depth. Any Hexagon model could be next.
Cassie uncovers a link to two suspicious suicides. Hunted by a methodical serial killer, she must rely on wits and gymnastics skills to survive. One mistake, and the biggest story of her career could end with her own murder.
A complex, fast-paced mystery with an athletic and resourceful heroine. The bodies pile up in this tense cinematic thriller. Ideal for British crime, slasher, and giallo fans.

Killer Pose delivers a suspense-packed mystery with a truly unsettling visual: victims turned into lifeless mannequins by a methodical killer. It’s bold, bizarre, and totally unforgettable. The plot never let up, throwing curveballs I didn’t see coming. What I loved most was how Andy Phillips created such a cinematic atmosphere. Every scene felt like it belonged on screen, and the setting gave it a retro edge that worked surprisingly well. Creepy, clever, and so entertaining—I flew through it. Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this wild thriller!
