Agatha Christie meets Made in Chelsea
'Vassell's sharply witty debut novel is an enticing blend of frothy social satire and deadly serious detective work.' Daily Mail
'Brilliantly compulsive . . . I could not stop reading this book.' DENISE MINA
'As sharp, witty and energetic as it is bitingly satirical.' JANICE HALLETT
The night before
Rupert's 30th is a black tie dinner at the Kentish Town McDonald's - catered with cocaine and Veuve Clicquot.
The morning after
His girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered on Hampstead Heath. All the party-goers have alibis. Naturally.
Bitingly funny, full of twists, and all too close to reality, this is a stunning debut from your next favourite crime writer.
'An incredible crime debut.' ERIN KELLY
'Scintillating.' HARRIET TYCE
'Delicious, searing . . . What a great new voice she is in detective fiction!' S. J. BENNETT
