‘The last person who called me Sweetpea ended up dead’
What better way to relax than between the covers of a good book?
‘I haven’t killed anyone for three years and I thought that when it happened again I’d feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night’s sleep. Didn’t wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once.’
Sweetpea by C.J. Skuse is a terrifying gripping thriller – with a few laugh-out-loud moments just to jazz things up – about Rhiannon … just your average girl next door … a boyfriend, a steady-but-boring job, a little dog.
