Publisher's Summary
The electrifying new thriller from the author of the word-of-mouth best-selling sensation The Wicked Girls, Alex Marwood.
No. 23 has a secret. In this bedsit-riddled south London wreck, lorded over by a lecherous landlord, something waits to be discovered. Yet all six residents have something to hide. Collette and Cher are on the run; Thomas is a reluctant loner; while a gorgeous Iranian asylum seeker and a 'quiet man' nobody sees try to stay hidden. And watching over them all is Vesta - or so she thinks.
In the dead of night, a terrible accident pushes the neighbours into an uneasy alliance. But one of them is a killer, expertly hiding their pastime, all the while closing in on their next victim.... As a cloying heatwave suffocates the city, events build to an electrifying climax in this dark, original, and irresistibly compelling thriller.

Too gruesome. Can't recommend it.
Yes it's totally well written, great characters, great plot development, great narration.
But...the gruesomeness was just too much for me.
Before you buy or listen to this, be warned - this is some of what you'll hear:
The main subject matter - young attractive girls (of course, who's interested if they're not young and attractive) being murdered, then either mummified or dismembered and disposed of via a domestic blender and the plumbing system.
Detailed description of what that does to the plumbing system.
Long descriptive scenes involving obese dead bodies and rooms swimming in raw sewerage. Yes, at the same time.
Descriptions of the same dead body days after being dumped.
Description of an elderly woman being beaten until she's unrecognisable; witnessed by her terrified granddaughter.
Those are just the ones that spring to mind.
If you really like reading/hearing about that kind of thing, then I guess you'll like it.
But a little bit worrying if you really do.
I couldn't help but end up feeling what a shame that a book with everything else going for it had to go way too far down the grisly track and end up just making me feel quite sick.
And also a bit depressed that this kind of thing is so popular.
