Magnificent. Richard Osman

A dastardly romp for fans of Saltburn. Alice Slater

Fresh, frightening, bittersweet and brutal. Chris Whitaker

They say love never dies, but what happens if you kill for it?

Edward is a man on the edge. Just about getting by in a world he cannot afford, doing everything possible to hide the fact he doesn't belong, surrounded by people he detests. Edward's only reward is the attention of his beloved Stanza.

But when he realises Stanza is now in the arms of his best friend, Edward is forced to re-evaluate what those closest to him are actually worth. There is no price too high to prevent the life he has worked so hard to secure slipping from his grip. Especially when he won't be the one paying.

A subtle and gripping thriller for fans of The Secret History and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Claire McGowan

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

I loved The Kellerby Code. The toxic friend group our lower class protagonist bends over backwards to fit into, the growing resentment of the effortless wealth and success and the inevitable tipping point.

This is one of those books that get more absorbing and utterly bizarre as it goes, you absolutely have to read it.

Immensely enjoyable . . . A wild roller coaster ride with plenty of cringeworthy and laugh out loud moments.
