How to Kill Your Family meets The Power in this entertaining and thought-provoking read, that asks: If you had the power between life and death, what would you do? Thea has a secret. She can tell how long someone has left to live just by touching them.

Thea realises that she has a godlike power: but despite deciding to use her ability for good, she can’t help but sometimes use it for her own benefit. Boss annoying her at work? She can take some life from them and give it as a tip to her masseuse for a great job. Creating an ‘Ethical Guide to Murder’ helps Thea to focus her new-found skills.

How can she really know who deserves to die, and can she figure out her own rules before Ruth’s borrowed time runs out? ‘Relatable, poignant, and filled with unexpected twists, An Ethical Guide to Murder is near-impossible to put down. I was hooked all the way up to the ending, which I can't stop thinking about. A must-read for 2025’ Jenny Hollander, author of Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead ‘An Ethical Guide to Murder is a fabulous book!

Thea is a relatable, messy character whose trials and tribulations kept me laughing all the way to the emotional gut punch. What a marvellous debut!’ Alice Bell, author of Grave Expectations ‘An Ethical Guide to Murder is the best type of book – one that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. With Thea, Jenny Morris has created one of the most interesting characters that I’ve read in a long time’ Kellye Garrett, award winning author of Missing White Woman ‘Is Thea a serial killer?

Árnyékban
Javában tombol a nyár, szikrázik a tenger, és August Strindberg nagyszabású süteménysütő-versenyt hirdet Hovenäsetben. Ám az idillnek éppolyan hirtelen szakad vége, ahogyan a köd szokta beburkolni a szigetet: egy akasztott embert találnak a strand ugrótornyán. A haláleset mindjárt gyanús lesz a rendőrségnek. Maria Martinsson és munkatársai nekilátnak kideríteni, ki lehet az áldozat, és mit keresett a környéken. A nyomozás 1989 nyaráig vezet vissza, amikor Lydia Bromant meggyilkolták és feldarabolták az otthonában, és felmerül a kérdés: biztosan az igazi tettest ítélték el annak idején? Ha pedig nem, vajon meddig hajlandók elmenni azok, akik nem szeretnék, hogy bárki is bolygassa a múlt titkait?
