About this listen
“As if Bridget Jones found herself in a Scream film. Murderously clever!” —Rupert Holmes, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Your Employer
“Fast-paced, twisty and great fun!” —Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author of Listen for the Lie
A clever and darkly hilarious thriller/romantic comedy about a young woman who must unmask a serial killer that everyone thinks is her, all before her best friend’s wedding
Gwen Turner has made a bloody mess of her life. She recently broke up with the best man she’s ever known for reasons even she can’t admit to herself and quit a lucrative job to open her own coffee shop. To top it all off, her best friend is getting married and leaving her behind in singlehood.
Along with too much cheap wine and bad reality TV, Gwen turns to a dating app to help fill the void in her life. Swiping through the few eligible bachelors left in town, she spends her evenings out on one disastrous date after another. But when a string of murders suddenly occurs in her small coastal English city, she’s shocked by the connection between each of the victims—they’ve all been on a date with her.
Before she knows what’s happening, Gwen finds herself the main suspect in a serial killer’s murderous spree, and the only way she can clear her name is to track down her former dates (even those that have ghosted her) and unmask a killer before it’s too late.

She needs a good long stint in rehab.
The culture of excessive alcohol intake throughout this novel is quite astonishing. The main character and her friends indulge in blackout drinking every day, and they grade every event by how blotto they can, or did, get. I doubt there's a single page on which someone is not over-consuming alcohol.. The idea that the lead character, who gets out of bed every day to severe hangovers, and mostly still drunk from the night before, can do anything to help solve a crime is ludicrous. She needs a good long stint in rehab, and a complete reevaluation of how long she actually intends to live if she keeps up those toxic levels of alcohol in her bloodstream. If nothing else, it's boring as hell to read about drunks, and interferes so completely with the story that it's nearly impossible to say what the novel is about. I'm not sure how long this culture of excessive alcohol consumption has been part of British culture but it seems to have permeated nearly all their contemporary media, especially those targeted to the 20-40 y/o age group. I'm thinking I'll just go back to pleasant cozy mysteries in which a glass of port is the only drink indulged in, and when it's consumed, it's consumed genteelly.
