Description
Young, brunette women are being attacked in London. 16-year-old, Irish-born Niamh has just arrived for a summer of freedom, and quickly discovers that the girls being attacked look frighteningly similar to her. But Niamh is determined not to let her fear destroy her Summer. But can her new friends be trusted? Will she be able to stay ahead of the attacker? Or will she be next? Packed with voice-driven whodunit storytelling, and a retro slasher-movie feel reminiscent of cult classics Scream and Urban Legend, this dark, pacy, and irresistibly-creepy debut really has something for everybody!
‘Last One to Die is by turns chilling, funny and gripping. I rooted for Niamh all the way through, as she navigated her way through horror after horror. As well as a terrifying plot masterfully told, this book has nuanced, tender relationships between characters, and is particularly good on female friendship. I loved (and was totally fooled by) the red herrings along the way, and the final twist made me want to go back to the beginning and read it all over again.’ Emily Barr, author of The Truth and Lies of Ella Black
‘Point Horror for a new generation . . . best read under the covers in one sitting.’ Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First
‘A supernatural terror-fest! Murphy takes you on a terrifying murder spree across London, relentlessly building the tension to a blood-curdling climax. I absolutely devoured it!’ Kat Ellis, author of Harrow Lake
