About this listen

From the bestselling author of GIRL A and DAY ONE comes a heart-wrenching new novel about love, tragedy and forgiveness.

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.

Critic Reviews

'The best book I’ve read this year and I doubt anyone will better it in 2025. It’s the most beautiful, intimate novel – a love story, a manhunt, a reflection on grief and loss and heartbreak and betrayal that is somehow still a gripping thriller. The Death of Us will make your heart beat faster and then break it, over and over again. An absolute masterpiece.' Jane Casey

‘It thoughtfully explores the reverberations of trauma … a considerable achievement.’ The Times Pick of the Month

'Dean writes beautifully and Day One is an absorbing, heartbreaking read.' The Observer

‘This intricately plotted drama is sensitive and thought provoking’ Crime Monthly

“An unforgettable triumph” Publishers Weekly

'It’s original and superb' Sunday Irish Independent

'Chilling and very prescient it’s a beautifully written exploration of memory, grief and how we try to make sense of the senseless.' Red Magazine
