Six Strikes

'This book has bestseller written all over it. I had to remind myself to breathe' NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ –––––––––––––––––––––––

There's no smoke without fire…

As someone who has suffered abuse at the hands of men, Maddie protects women by murdering those who attack them – men she calls ‘fleas’. Fleas are men who follow women home. Abusive husbands who refuse to walk away. And then there’s the Manchester Maniac: a serial killer stalking the streets, determined to murder people like her.

But Maddie can’t get away with it forever. Years later, in the interview room of her prison, she comes face-to-face with a very important visitor. Someone she’s going to tell all to, about how she caught one of the UK’s most prolific serial killers, and how she got caught as one herself…

This emotional and chilling thriller in the vein of Promising Young Woman is perfect for fans of Alice Feeney, Helen Fields and Jo Callaghan.
