This is a story of murder. This is a story of survival. But most of all, this is a story of love. Abigail Dean is an incredible writer and her books are always one of those situations where five stars is just not enough!

The Death of Us tells the story of Isabel and Edward dealing with the consequences of a brutal crime committed against them. It’s heart-wrenching and tragic, compelling and devastating. It is not a linear recounting of the story – and that’s where Abigail Dean shines, a unique and complex way of telling a story really hooks and grips her readers – whilst writing in a voice that completely transports you into the lives of the characters at the front of it all.

In a very clever way, Abigail doesn’t give us all the details of the devastating crime contained within the pages of this book, but she doesn’t need to. The truth is there throughout, but there’s no gratuitous violence and embellishing. And perhaps that makes it even more powerful.

Emotive, acutely observed, attention-gripping, don’t miss out on this one

About the Book

It’s the story everyone wants to hear.

That spring night in South London, when Isabel and Edward’s lives were torn apart.

The night Isabel learned that the worst things wait, just outside the door.

The night Edward learned that he was powerless to stop them.

The night they never talk about.

When their attacker is caught, it’s finally time to tell the story of that night.

Not to the world. Or to the man who did it. But to each other.

This is a story of murder. This is a story of survival. But most of all, this is a story of love.
