'A TOUR DE FORCE: WITTY, THRILLING AND DELICIOUSLY CRUEL' Lev Grossman
The Mortons are a modern day, old money dynasty with impeccable taste, from exquisite cocktails and expertly tailored vintage garments to stone cold murder.
Jessica is their golden child, a perfectly crafted apprentice to the Morton legacy. She has always excelled, and now, having committed her first kill whilst at elite college Helshire, she can finally stake her claim as a fully blooded Morton. This is her moment, her honour.
She has trained for this since birth, but in a family built on the bones of their secrets, where failure means erasure, can loyalty always come above care?
Reviews / Votes
A tour-de-force: witting, thrilling and deliciously cruel * Lev Grossman * Slippery, sinister and so much fun * Charlotte McConaghy * Knife-sharp writing, rocket fuel packing and an air of mystery, this diabolical novel reads like a mash-up of Succession and The Umbrella Academy * Ashley Winstead * Dark academia has never been so dark, nor family legacy so beguilingly treacherous! The Secret History meets Succession in this epic and utterly chilling family saga * Hank Phillippi Ryan * The Secret History meets Succession. Contemporary dark academia at its best * Will Dean * An absolute delight. The Mortons are the most spectacularly unhinged crime family ever imagined. They have the cutest pets, throw the most glamorous funerals, enact the most shockingly lethal rituals, drink the bitterest cocktails and drive the most expensive automobiles * E. Lockhart * Diabolical and delicious. Watch your back! * Julie Clark * Twisty and twisted fun. Truly original! * Tracy Sierra *More details
