Why read it?

2 authors picked You'd Look Better as a Ghost as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For fans of dark humor - you'll keep turning pages to figure out if she gets away with it ... even if you're not entirely sure you want her to.

Despite being about a serial killer, this is one of the funniest books I have read all year.

The protagonist, Claire, has a wicked sense of humour, which makes the reader sympathise with her decisions to kill people— sometimes for the flimsiest of reasons. She is delightfully amoral, but there is a certain logic to her actions.

It moves fast and is written with a light touch that works perfectly.
