You May Now Kill the Bride

Their hangovers may fade, but this is a hen party they'll never forget...

Lauren, Saskia, Dominica, Farah and Tansy have been friends since nursery. They wonder if that was the last time they all actually liked each other.

Reunited as bridesmaids at Tansy's spiritual hen party in the woods, it doesn't take long before old grudges begin to surface. Not to mention the secret they've been hiding for twenty years.

But what starts as a weekend of macrame and contraband vodka ends in murder when Tansy chokes to death on a poisoned cacao drink.

As the body count keeps climbing, the friends realise that one of their group must be the killer - and if any of them want to make it down the aisle, they need to watch their sash-covered backs.

Who will be left standing when the bouquet is thrown?

Deliciously dark, compulsive and as tense as the finale of Traitors. It'll seep into your psyche and leave you wanting more. -- Hannah Tovey
I adored this book! It is riotously funny, horribly familiar, and a brilliantly compelling story. I related so hard to way too much of it, revelled in the darkness, and can't wait for Kate Weston's next novel. Hard recommend! -- Lucy Vine
As outrageously entertaining as a hen night in Vegas, this is one pre-nuptial party you won't want to miss. -- Maz Evans
With a cast of characters you definitely wouldn't want to marry at first sight, You May Now Kill the Bride is as brilliantly plotted as any Bridezilla's meticulously planned wedding. I may not want to hang out with these women in real life, but this group of friends make excellent fictional company as they attempt to work out who exactly is offing their hens. Not easy to do when you're drowning in plastic penises and Prosecco! Fun, twisty and veiled in mystery, til' death do us part has never felt so ominous, and I loved it! -- Amy Beashel
With a cast of awful characters and a high body count, this deliciously dark tale is an ideal summer read. -- The Sun
A welcome arrival for wedding season. Mixing surprising plot twists with an on-the-nose satire of spiritual weekend breaks (yurts, flower crowns, contraband vodka) and long-hidden secrets, this will be one of those books that keeps catching the corner of your eye before you succumb to its charms -- Stylist
If you're in the mood for a rescue mission through a lap dancing club with some male strippers in tow, or a murderous spa visit involving some yoni eggs, then grab a copy as soon as you can. -- Heat
