Beschreibung

<p>Revenge is best served pre-ordered. <i>How to Destroy Your Ex</i>, the wickedly funny new novel from Jenny Morris, is available for pre-order now. <br><br><i><b>How to Kill Your Family </b></i><b>meets </b><i><b>The Husbands</b></i><b> in a darkly funny, wickedly original novel about friendship, revenge and the dangers of playing God.</b></p><p>Thea has a gift. Or possibly a serious ethical problem.</p><p>With a single touch, she can see exactly how long someone has left to live. She can also take that time from them and give it to somebody else.</p><p>She discovers this when her best friend Ruth suffers a fatal head injury on a night out. Panicking, Thea grabs the man responsible. Ruth wakes up. He falls down dead.</p><p>Now Thea has the power of life and death at her fingertips - and she is determined to use it responsibly.</p><p>Mostly.</p><p>Because surely her dreadful boss can spare a few months. And doesn't the masseuse who finally sorted out her shoulders deserve a generous tip?</p><p>To keep herself on the straight and narrow, Thea writes an Ethical Guide to Murder: rules governing who deserves to lose time, who deserves to gain it and how to make the world just a little bit fairer.</p><p>But justice is complicated. Revenge is tempting. And absolute power is alarmingly easy to justify.</p><p>As Thea's rules begin to unravel, she must decide who she is willing to kill - and whether she can save Ruth before her borrowed time runs out.</p><p><b>Murderously funny, sharply observed and unexpectedly moving, </b><i><b>An Ethical Guide to Murder</b></i><b> asks how far you would go for the person you love - and whether anyone should have the power to decide who deserves more time.</b></p><p><b>'A marvellous debut! Jenny Morris has taken the "with great power comes great responsibility" concept and applied it to someone who struggles to be responsible for her own laundry'</b><br>Alice Bell</p><p><b>'As entertaining as it is thought-provoking . . . one of the most
