The Bad Seeds

Liked the Sweetpea TV series on Sky Atlantic? You'll love the books…

‘This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American Psycho’ Red

🪓

Sweetpea is coming home at last…

Newly married, with a loving family surrounding her, everything's coming up roses for ex-serial killer Rhiannon Lewis, right?

Wrong.

Her husband has just been shot, and the daughter she left behind in the UK is desperately ill. She’s got no choice but to flee the States and return home, back to her roots, where she’s in danger of being recognised and arrested at any moment.

Only nothing is quite as it seems…

With a series of bad choices in front of her, and the authorities right behind, Rhiannon's in a hell of a hole and she needs to dig herself out of it pronto. But help can come from the most unlikely places. And even more unlikely people…

Readers love the Sweetpea series!

‘Visceral, chilling and absolutely downright thrilling: I wish I had read it sooner!’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Wickedly funny’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Brilliantly dark and twisted’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
