"Enjoy the irreverence of Villanelle in Killing Eve here"–LoveReading.co.uk ◆ Dark humour pacy and racy women-at-MI6 thriller series ◆ #1 Best Seller ◆ Killing Eve meets The Night Circus with a dash of Stephen King ◆ New Irish author ◆ Offbeat and zany thought-provoking writing ◆ Raechel Sands' dangerous love web between women spies, and the women and men who pursue them. “At twenty-six, Kitty thought she had her whole life ahead of her. ‘Not so tough now, are you?’ C said to her corpse. ‘Dead women don’t talk, Kitty White. It’s really nothing like James Bond’.” “Cleverly blends noir, satire, lesfic, epic, and Dan Brown-style religious mystery." "Edge-of-your-seat sequels each more stunning than the last." “Great female action adventure!" “Kurt Vonnegut meets Raymond Chandler meets Killing Eve." (Cambridge News) "Listening to this book was one of the strangest and most fun experiences I’ve had." “Serial killer 7 aka La Bombe, a reincarnated Josef Mengele, is a riveting villain." “Whirlwind rollercoaster of twists and double crosses.” "Wild wacky and compelling. I read the three books one after another." "The first psychiatrist to understand me gave me a wee tip. ‘Pretend to be normal,’ he said. So that’s why I’m standing by the polar bear enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park sucking a Fox’s Glacier Mint. That’s a sweetie – a hard candy the Americans call it. I’m also holding my favourite book, Polar Bears Have Big Feet. It tells me their front feet ‘are as big as dinner plates.’ Just the thing for tilting at windmills altogether. And – yes – my second favourite is Don Quixote, the first novel ever written. My copy’s a thousand pages. A score at the back are blank – grand if I run out of paper in my Filofax. Sadly Cervantes didn’t put any polar bears in it. People often ask: ‘Do spies really like wildlife?’ ‘Sure,’ I tell them, ‘spies are into all kinds of things.’" "7 swung the side of the dollhouse open. In a stable, a blonde doll resembling Blanka sat on a white horse. It had pins pushed through its kidneys. 7 lifted up a dirty Guinness glass. In it stood a tall Nearby doll – closely resembling 7 herself – but dressed in torn shabby clothes. She lifted it out and held it up to her eyes and touched its nut brown hair with her finger. ‘You’re no Cinderella, Goody Two-Shoes,’ she told it. She spat in the doll’s face. ‘I know what you’re really like. Spying on us, writing everything down. Slut!’ She turned the doll upside down and dropped it back in the glass. Its skirt fell over its head." . . 7 seven for a secret noir book books novel female action adventure chinatown irish sappho night circus erin morgenstern dan brown sally rooney luke jennings phoebe waller bridge jodie comer kurt vonnegut raymond chandler magical realism red queen dystopian post apocalyptic noir lesbian romance the queens gambit magic homer sappho erin morgenstern anne rice dan brown john le carré stephenie meyer twilight Walter Tevis raymond chandler luke jennings villanelle doll margaret atwood ratched women-centric ai hybrid woman spy lesfic women’s fiction the queens gambit book twilight doll the iliad the odyssey dystopian bourne ya murder mystery young adult night circus jason bourne scifi science fiction noir margaret atwood stephen king dan brown kurt vonnegut thriller horror jodie comer kurt vonnegut raymond chandler bourne black 007 woman 007 young women lesbian fiction mixed racestephen fry troy villanelle atwood rice brown le carré meyer lesbian fiction lesbian romance helen of troy ulysses homer the iliad the odyssey sappho ghost jack nicholson john hurt chinatown fiction book novel magic realism young woman mary poppins alien monster meher baba bedlam john hurt jack nicholson kd lang mix tape mental health psychiatric hospital one flew over the cuckoo’s nest james joyce ulysses joyce girl
