Paperback. 'Magnificent.' Richard Osman'Razor-sharp.' Erin Kelly How far would you go for a friend?Edward is living in a world he can't afford and to which he doesn't belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends' needs: fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It's a noble effort, really - anything to keep his perfectly awful 'best pals' Robert and Stanza happy. In return, his proximity to their abundance might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away.But Edward has - secretly - been in love with Stanza since their Cambridge days. The shattering discovery that Stanza and Robert are an item pushes him too far. His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core.Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?From the mind behind the "laugh-out-loud funny" (Mark Kermode) new film WICKED LITTLE LETTERS starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley'Fresh, frightening, bittersweet and brutal.'

A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK
He's found a life worth killing for
Edward is struggling to hold it together. Just about getting by in a world he cannot afford, scurrying after his friends, doing everything he can to prove his value. But not to worry: the attention of his beloved Stanza and the respite he finds in her ancestral home, Kellerby House, provide all the reward he needs.
Until he realises that Stanza is in love with his best friend Robert, forcing Edward to re-evaluate what those closest to him are actually worth. No price is too high to stop the life he has strived for slipping from his grip. Especially when he won't be the one paying.
'A genuine late night, one more chapter, but I've got work in the morning book.' Ian Moore
