5.0

This book follows Rhiannon further on her little murdery journey whilst navigating a very big impending change in her life. Will this change reign her in or will it tip her over the edge?

As with the first one lots of hilarious, sweary observations and moments where you just can’t believe she’ll get away with it for much longer. This one was made better by the excellent audiobook that I managed to borrow from the library. Excellent voice actor and can’t wait for the TV adaptation that’s in the works!
