The new laugh-out-loud serial killer thriller from L.M. Chilton, author of Don't Swipe Right and Everyone in the Group Chat Dies.

'Razor sharp, irreverent and as funny as hell' JOHN MARRS

'A brilliant, dark comedy' Heat

Hazel and Marc were paired together on the revolutionary new reality TV show Love Synced, in which AI matches hopeful lovers based on its perceptive algorithms.

But when it came time to say I Do on camera, Hazel couldn’t go through with it, leaving her perfect match at the altar, his family furious and the whole TV production in jeopardy.

Now all she wants to do is fly home. Instead, she’s trapped in an isolated airport that’s been ground to a halt by a snow storm... with her ex and his obnoxiously rich family. But when they start turning up dead, a jilted lover is the least of Hazel’s worries – there’s a serial killer to catch first.

The AI algorithm failed to find Hazel her soulmate... But could it help find the murderer instead?
