The brand new book from a powerful literary voice, author of The Stranger She Knew, shortlisted for the Paul Torday Prize. Grace, Meg and Daphne, all in their seventies, are minding their own business while enjoying a cup of tea in a cafe, when seventeen-year-old Nina stumbles in. She' s clearly distraught and running from someone, so the three women think nothing of hiding her when a suspicious-looking man starts asking if they' ve seen her. Once alone, Nina tells the women a little of what she' s running from. The need to protect her is immediate, and Grace, Meg and Daphne vow to do just this. But how? They soon realise there really is only one answer: murder. And so begins the tale of the three most unlikely murderers-in-the-making, and may hell protect anyone who underestimates them.
