A review by tanninsandtales
The Beautiful Dead by Belinda Bauer
4.0
Here is to hoping you all have had a lovely Christmas and one not as eventful as Evie Singer's, the main character in [b:The Beautiful Dead|27070075|The Beautiful Dead|Belinda Bauer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470285010s/27070075.jpg|45536243].
At the start of the story, London is decorated for the holidays and its people are hoping for (and betting on) a White Christmas while Evie still hasn't bought any presents. That is so because being the sole carer of a father who has Alzheimer and a TV crime news reporter has been rather time consuming. To make matters worse, a serial killer is on the loose and he thinks there is nobody better than Evie to publicise his doings.
[a:Belinda Bauer|2979481|Belinda Bauer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1336477232p2/2979481.jpg] has crafted a strangely heartwarming serial killer story. It is dark and grim but also humourous and uplifting. I thought it was a pity that publication date was set to the 3rd of January but, oh well, here is a great idea for a belated Christmas gift.
(Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy!)
