Thrilled to share the cover of #TheDeathOfUs by Abigail Dean!

It's the story everyone wants to hear...
This is a story you'll never forget

From the bestselling author of GIRL A and DAY ONE, this is a breathtaking new novel about love, tragedy and forgiveness.

😆 isn't she pretty!

Well, yesterday I said I was ready for a brilliant crime thriller, and today the universe (or rather @rachelmayquin.bsky.social ) delivered!

I remember hearing @callieuntitled.bsky.social pitch on #BookTwitter & now it's here and I can't wait to read it!

Loved it, I read it, quietly terrifying.

Delighted that @viperbooks.bsky.social author @guymorpuss.bsky.social has found his way to Bluesky! If you have any crime/thriller author starter packs, please do add him. He murders fictional people really well.

They should be, it's a treat!

I've just this second finished the breathtaking #SilverElite, what a journey, what a book!

Coming May next year and I'm pretty sure it's going to be HUGE!
