About this listen
The entertaining, moving and unpredictable new thriller from multi-award-winning best seller Chris Brookmyre is a wholly original masterpiece.
Millie Spark can kill anyone.
A special effects make-up artist, her talent is to create realistic scenes of bloody violence.
Then, one day, she wakes to find her lover dead in her bed.
Twenty-five years later, her sentence for murder served, Millicent is ready to give up on her broken life - until she meets troubled film student and reluctant petty thief Jerry.
Together, they begin to discover that all was not what it seemed on that fateful night...and someone doesn't want them to find out why.
Chris Brookmyre was a journalist before becoming a full-time novelist with the publication of his award-winning debut Quite Ugly One Morning, which established him as one of Britain's leading crime novelists. His 2016 novel Black Widow won both the McIlvanney Prize and the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award. Brookmyre's novels novels have sold more than two million copies in the UK alone.

Simply Excellent
Just a wonderful complex story full of exciting twists and turns and fascinating characters, a thoroughly enjoyable listen and so well narrated! So many accents done really well. Very impressed, genuinely a book worth listening to over reading if there is such a thing!

Cracking, classic Brookmyre
It almost doesn't matter what the storyline is, Chris Brookmyre crafts a brilliant story, and this is no exception. Weaving past and present, few laughs, some edge of the seat moments, everything culminating perfectly.

Brilliant!
What a cracking book! I have just discovered this author and am delighted to find there are more titles. This is that wonderful combination of a cracking yarn beautifully spun and elegantly written. Highly recommended.

Well plotted
I loved the way every seemingly minor event was eventually incorporated into the plot so it all made a cohesive plot with plenty of twists and turns. The voices and accents were very well done.
