Nine Lives: 'I loved this.' Anne Cleeves

Description

'Deliciously ingenious.' -Daily Mail 'Keeps you guessing right to the end.' - PETER MAY 'Smartly entertaining.' -Washington Post 'So beautifully written, so gripping, so perfect.' - SOPHIE HANNAH If you're on the list you're marked for death. The envelope is unremarkable. There is no return address. It contains a single, folded, sheet of white paper. The envelope drops through the mail slot like any other piece of post. But for the nine complete strangers who receive it - each of them recognising just one name, their own, on the enclosed list - it will be the most life altering letter they ever receive. It could also be the last, as one by one, they start to meet their end. But why?

Peter Swanson's novels include The Girl With a Clock for a Heart, nominated for an LA Times book award, The Kind Worth Killing, a Richard and Judy pick and the iBooks store's thriller of the year; Rules for Perfect Murders, the 2020 Richard and Judy Pick; and most recently Every Vow You Break. He lives with his wife and cat on the north coast of Massachusetts.

'I loved this, Swanson's sharp and insightful characterization brought to life a fascinating premise, beautifully worked out.' - Ann Cleeves 'With economical strokes of his pen, Peter Swanson presents us with a clever homage to the Golden Age of Mystery which keeps you guessing right to the end.' - Peter May
