The Other Half

Agatha Christie meets Made in Chelsea

''Vassell’s sharply witty debut novel is an enticing blend of frothy social satire and deadly serious detective work.'' Daily Mail
''Brilliantly compulsive . . . I could not stop reading this book.'' DENISE MINA
''As sharp, witty and energetic as it is bitingly satirical.'' JANICE HALLETT

The night before
Rupert’s 30th is a black tie dinner at the Kentish Town McDonald’s – catered with cocaine and Veuve Clicquot.
The morning after
His girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered on Hampstead Heath. All the party-goers have alibis. Naturally.

Bitingly funny, full of twists, and all too close to reality, this is a stunning debut from your next favourite crime writer.

''An incredible crime debut.'' ERIN KELLY
''Scintillating.'' HARRIET TYCE
''Delicious, searing . . . What a great new voice she is in detective fiction!'' S. J. BENNETT
