About this listen

Sweetpea TV series starring Ella Purnell now on Sky Atlantic!

She’s back and killing for two…

Rhiannon Lewis should be happy.

Her cheating fiancé is in jail – framed for the depraved killing spree she committed. Her ex-lover is chopped up and buried where no-one will find him.

But there’s one small problem. She’s pregnant.

And as much as Rhiannon wants to continue working her way through her kill lists, a small voice inside is trying to make her stop.

Now Rhiannon has to choose – motherhood or murder.

Critic Reviews

Praise for C.J. Skuse

‘This darkly comic novel…has the potential to become a cult classic.’ Daily Mail

‘Filthy and funny… a compulsive read’ Sunday Times

‘This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American PsychoRed

‘Dark, depraved and devilishly delicious. A full throttle savage and satirical thriller’
John Marrs, author of The One

‘Hilarious, refreshing, dark and memorable. It doesn’t disappoint, I loved it’ Phoebe Morgan

‘You MUST read this book especially if you like your (anti) heroes dirty-mouthed, deadly and dark, dark dark. ADORED IT' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle

‘Pitch dark, laugh-out-loud hilarious – the Sweetpea series is pure genius escapism’ Susi Holliday

‘Fascinating, intriguing and twist after twist in the tale’ Suzy K Quinn

‘Dark and wickedly funny, and as dry and acerbic as Fleabag, it’s hard not to love Rhiannon Lewis’ Claire Allan

‘Witty, vulgar, sweary, darkly funny, but enthralling – a must-read for thriller fans’ My Weekly

‘This book is OUTRAGEOUS’ Compulsive Readers

Another fantastic instalment in the Sweatpea series. Potty mouthed and so comically dark, this book (which I listened to) gave me a lot of laugh out loud moments. Georgia Maguire was amazing (again) as the narrator of this fabulously written book. I have Dead Head ready to go!

Exceptional!

An amazing sequal to Sweetpea, with exception narration yet again. So great to be in Rhiannon's head again and met all expectations.

Brilliant!
