I saw this on offer for the Kindle through Bookbub and the title got me straightaway, it felt witty and interesting, then I read the first two lines of the synopsis:
"I have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die.
Of course, it helps that I'm the one killing them."
After reading that I was sold, and couldn't wait to start reading it and boy was I glad I went for this. A wonderfully witty, dry, dark book that kept me hooked and rooting for a serial killer.
It's a story about the harsh realities of dementia and the care system at its core, but also bereavement and of course a serial killer: Claire who after her father dies, is caught off guard by her emotions and how that impacts her killings.
A joy to read
