Publisher Description
'An incredible crime debut.' ERIN KELLY
'As sharp, witty and energetic as it is bitingly satirical.' JANICE HALLETT
The night before
Rupert's 30th is a black tie dinner at the Kentish Town McDonald's - catered with cocaine and Veuve Clicquot.
The morning after
His girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered on Hampstead Heath. All the party-goers have alibis. Naturally.
This investigation is going to be about Classics degrees and aristocrats, Instagram influencers and who knows who. Or is it whom? Detective Caius Beauchamp isn't sure. He's sharply dressed, smart, and as into self-improvement as Clemmie - but as he searches for the dark truth beneath the luxury, a wall of staggering wealth threatens to shut down his investigation before it's begun.
Can he see through the tangled set of relationships in which the other half live, and die, before the case is taken out of his hands?
Bitingly funny, full of twists, and all too close to reality, this is a stunning debut from your next favourite crime writer.
'Scintillating' HARRIET TYCE
'An incredibly accomplished debut. The writing is pin-sharp and skewers class and pretension with hilarious precision . . . Vassell is a unique and much-needed voice in crime fiction, and sure to be a new favourite for many!' CAILEAN STEED
Customer Reviews
Bad narrator, fab story
Story was great, but the male narrator was incredibly hard to understand, and made the listening difficult.
Narrator’s voice!
The guy reading this really needs to work on the volume of his voice. He goes from mumbling at a normal volume and then for no reason at all, he starts shouting. It’s so annoying. I have to keep adjusting the volume, which isn’t ideal when driving! No idea if the book is any good as I’m about 3/4 of the way through and all I can really remember is his annoying voice.
Other half
Unfortunately I could not finish this as the male narrator was inaudible. He mumbled quietly mostly and his diction was non existent. He should not have the job as a narrator. Very annoying indeed!
