Description
'Refreshingly original and laugh-out-loud funny' - CLARE MACKINTOSH
'Delightfully shocking and irreverently funny' - JANICE HALLETT
I have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die. Of course, it helps that I'm the one killing them.
The night after her father's funeral, Claire meets Lucas in a bar. Lucas doesn't know it, but it's not a chance meeting. One thoughtless mistyped email has put him in the crosshairs of an extremely put-out serial killer. But before they make eye contact, before Claire lets him buy her a drink, even before she takes him home and carves him up into little pieces, something about that night is very wrong. Because someone is watching Claire. Someone who is about to discover her murderous little hobby.
The thing is, it's not sensible to tangle with a part-time serial killer, even one who is distracted by attending a weekly bereavement support group and trying to get her art career off the ground. Let the games begin...
Dexter meets Killing Eve in this superb thriller, perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family and My Sister, the Serial Killer.
'I doubt I'll read a more original thriller this year' - JACK JORDAN
'If Bret Easton Ellis ever went to grief counselling, this would be just the kind of brilliant book he'd write' - PHILIPPA EAST
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Joanna Wallace's You'd Look Better as a Ghost has been praised for its refreshingly original concept and laugh-out-loud humour, making it a standout debut. The prose is noted for its sharpness and witty one-liners, drawing comparisons to a dark and twisted version of Fleabag. Readers are particularly drawn to the combination of dark themes and black comedy, with some describing it as delightfully shocking. This pitch-black comedy horror is recommended for fans of Killing Eve, with its compelling portrayal of a glamorous psychopath as the protagonist.
