About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You thought he was the one. You broke his heart. But now, he might be the only one who can save your life...

Anna and Reid weren't meant to be, apparently. She's a fiery American journalist; he's a stoic British detective—it was nice while it lasted, and then it really wasn't.
And Anna is over it now anyway. She's on the scent of a career-making story—a suspicious death amongst the cloistered elite world of Cambridge University, with a slice of police corruption too.
It's just, the more she investigates, the more there's only one person she wants to talk to about it. She starts writing Reid a long sprawling email—it's not like she's ever planning to send it.
Until suddenly, she's in desperate trouble. The problem with chasing a killer is that sometimes, you run right into them.
And the only detective she can trust with her life, is the one who broke her heart...

Critic Reviews

I totally recommend this twisty, unpredictable thriller (Claire Douglas)
Propulsive, pacy, hugely immersive – a brilliantly told story. I didn't want it to end but also couldn't stop turning the pages! (Andrea Mara)
I loved Dead To Me, a whip-smart, twisty thriller full of intrigue, rivalries and a brilliant heroine you’ll be rooting for. Gytha Lodge gets better and better (Laura Marshall)
Imagine Jane Casey and Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware collaborated to write a brilliant psychological thriller set in dark academia, underpinned by a will they/won’t they romance. But this unique novel is all down to the talented Gytha Lodge – I highly recommend (Jo Callaghan)
Dead To Me is a delicious slice of dark academia. Another gripping and beautifully written book from Gytha Lodge (C.S. Green)

One of my favourite authors disappoints with this novel.
Time lines are at times confusing. Nothing happens until the last couple of chapters. It then becomes very predictable.
