Description

'A dark, disturbing and highly original thriller' MARK BILLINGHAM

'Haunting, twisted and compelling' C.L. TAYLOR

'Clever, dark, unusual and full of genuine surprises' LOUISE BEECH

'One of the highlights of my reading year. A deliciously dark masterpiece' HELEN FITZGERALD

'A brilliantly original thriller, dark and brooding, with a real emotional punch' DOUG JOHNSTONE

Death is not the end. For Grace McGill, it's only the beginning.

When people die alone and undiscovered, it's her job to clean up what's left behind - whether it's clutter, bodily remains or dark secrets.

When an old man lies undetected in his flat for months, it seems an unremarkable life and an unnoticed death. But Grace knows that everyone has a story and that all deaths mean something more.

A STAND-OUT NOVEL WITH A UNIQUE NARRATIVE VOICE AND AN UNGUESSABLE MYSTERY, YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO REMEMBER GRACE McGILL.

Reader praise for The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill:

'A twisted story of undiscovered deaths and twisted minds, of people of little or no morality and Grace right in the thick of it, setting records straight and doing good in her own inimitable way'

'Wow! What an absolute stunner of a book. This was so different to a lot of the books out there at the moment. Totally gripping and thrilling and I couldn't stop reading it although I really didn't want to finish it!'

'A premise that, gratifyingly, delivers the goods in spades and does so with a superbly well drawn cast of characters and a rather unique, well written, often dark narrative. Compelling and wholly engaging reading. Top notch'

'The story was engrossing and I couldn't wait to see where it would go. I highly recommend this'

'A masterpiece'
