Description
'Utterly compelling and laugh-out-loud funny.' KATY BRENT, author of How To Kill Men and Get Away With It 'As if Bridget Jones found herself in a Scream film. Murderously clever!' RUPERT HOLMES Finding true love can be murder. Gwen Turner, 29, entrepreneur and part-time barista. Likes: true-crime podcasts, cheese-based snacks (the more unnaturally orange the better) and constantly refreshing her dating apps. Dislikes: two-day hangovers, people who refer to themselves as entrepreneurs... and discovering her latest match is actually a serial killer (probably should have put that top of the list). They say romance is dead, but if Gwen can't catch the mystery killer who's targeting every man she's ever dated, it's about to get a whole lot deadlier. A twisty, fast-paced and darkly hilarious modern murder mystery set in the terrifying and mystifying world of online dating, Don't Swipe Right is perfect for fans of Bella Mackie's How To Kill Your Family and Netflix's You. 'Rarely is murder so much fun!' Rachael Blok 'You'll come for the addictive murder mystery, and stay for the brilliant satire of modern dating at its worst.' Hayley Quinn 'A funny and outspoken comedy of manners... a proper whodunnit.' Morning Star 'Mystery fans will rush to swipe right on Chilton-he's got the goods.' Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 'A dark and gripping comedy, we laughed our way through... Brilliant.' That's Life! 'Well-written, neatly plotted, pacy, unguessable and hugely enjoyable... Chilton has found the sweet spot.' Sussex Life 'Playful and pacy... balancing gory with mischievous.' Love Reading 'Kept me guessing right to the end... funny and quirky to boot.' Nicole Kennedy
The debut thriller from L.M. Chilton, where a woman must uncover the serial killer murdering her dating-app dates.
