Summary

Soon to be a major TV series starring Ella Purnell

The last person who called me ‘Sweetpea’ ended up dead…

Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret.

By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list.

A kill list.

From the man on the checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge.

Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder…

Very dark, sick humour

I do not like Sweetpea, the character, at all. She is sick; she needs help! And I want her evil voice out of my head!

Hmmm, really not sure.

I really wanted to like this book. I like sweary and frank books and judging from the reviews I thought I was onto a winner.
When it actually came down to it, I just didn't think it was very good.
I thought its main appeal was the forthright content but no matter how explicit the prose, it failed to paper over the cracks of a poorly written book.
But, I listened on, strangely captivated, and realised that I would probably buy the sequel when it comes out just to know what happens.

Female Dexter

This book is funny, very easy to listen to, infact I have listened to it around 4 times now. The narration is superb and a funny, witty storyline. It ends on a cliffhanger but thankfully the 2nd book is now released. I was probably the first person to download this, I was very keen to listen to Rhiannon and her murderous ways again! Highly recommended.

It shouldn't be entertaining, but it is :-D

I can't quite believe this book. How someone can make such an abhorrent subject so entertaining and funny is pure genius. It is both written and narrated brilliantly. I want more from these two, fantastic and shocking :-)

Amazing

I can’t tell anyone about this book other than what is written . Only to say it’s the best I have listened to in ages. Well written. Well narrated . If I could I would give it 10 and put it at the top of the 210 books I have listened too . Just paid full price for the follow up worth every penny !! Enjoy . It is dark but with a LOL humour.

Unlikeable

I expected the main character to grow on me but that didn’t happen. I found the writing immature although the plot had potential to lay a great story. Will return.

A VERY different kind of book!!!

Wasn’t expecting this. It’s funny, gruesome, witty and very dirty. I laughed out loud, also cringed a lot at the language and absurdity of it all. But sort of loved it 😂😂😂😂

Gripping

Gripping until I got to the end. Was it missing a chapter? Felt it was left unfinished. Apart from that was excellent up to the “end”...
