A darkly comic crime novel following Claudia Alcock, a paranoid, witty and utterly unforgettable charcter in her efforts to hire a hit man on her husband.

Filled with murderous plots, diary confessions and shocking twists, this debut novel will keep readers hooked.

Written by a former newspaper editor and Cambridge-educated crime writer.

Perfect for fans of CJ Skuse, Bella Mackie and Matt Haig.

Claudia Alcock is looking for a hitman. Not just any hitman but one who can get the job done properly. After all, she may be a frizzy-haired, middle-aged woman with paranoid tendencies and a chequered romantic past, but she’s no fool. Her cheating soon-to-be ex-husband Gary, aided by his equally unfaithful new lover Alexa, deserve nothing less than a fitting comeuppance.

Unfortunately for Claudia, Gary has plans of his own. Determined to secure Claudia’s fortune, he hires his own hitman whose messy efforts range from bombs to snipers to poisonous spiders.

Can Claudia dodge these increasingly ludicrous attempts on her life?

Zany, darkly comic and gloriously unpredictable.
