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…

Incredible character! Gob smacking! Very dark story but the excellent writing had many laugh out loud one liners. What a rollercoaster of a listen. if you like Killing Eve you'll like this.

I was on a knife edge for the whole listen.

This is not as good as Sue Townsend but then what is?

If you want to spend some time in someone else’s diary as they go about their day then you could do a lot worse than spend some time with Rhiannon.

If you have seen the limp lettuce embankment that Sky put out under this name be assured the resemblances between the book and the script are few and far between.
