The setting, the characters, the plot, and even the ending…I just could not put this one down. Filled with humor and thriller vibes, this is this years MUST Summer read’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐                          What happens when a serial killer forgets that he’s a serial killer?                       At Sunset House the tea is barely introduced to a teabag, the carpets are permanently flecked with glitter and care assistant Jolene would rather be watching daytime television than caring for the elderly – but someone might just have confessed to murder.             Most think Gilbert’s sudden claim – ‘When I killed her’ – is likely to be the dementia talking. Or a spoiler for Midsomer Murders. Probably. Now, between bingo, staff drama and a suspicious game of pass the parcel, someone’s about to dig up more than buried memories…                          Darkly funny, sharply observant and unquestionably deadly, this is no Thursday Murder Club.                        See what readers have to say:           ‘A heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat… one of the best books this year!

She's delivered 900 performance evaluations and worked with teams ranging from college faculty, outdoor educators, cross-cultural teachers, government employees, to board members and has found three consistent takeaways: People love or hate stories depending on how they are told.
