Vivian Dies Again (Hardback)

C.E. Hulse

How to Solve Your Own Murder meets The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in this genre-bending, time-looping mystery

'Move over Fleabag, there's a new hot mess in town' - LIZZY BARBER
'Sharp, funny and well observed. Vivian Dies Again made me properly laugh' - LAURA MARSHALL
'Devilishly dark. I fell head over heels for this hapless heroine' - HEATHER CRITCHLOW

Time heals all wounds. Except blunt force trauma.

Vivian Slade is a cautionary tale. The wrong side of thirty, she's no longer the life and soul of the party - she's a party of one. But she's determined to turn over a new leaf, even if that means going to a family gathering where everyone hates her.

Turns out, someone really hates her - enough to push her off a balcony to a very messy end. But then Vivian wakes up! Only to be murdered again. And again. Stuck in a baffling time loop, Vivian's only ally is a sleep-deprived waiter who just wants to finish his shift. Will Vivian be able to solve her own murder? Only time will tell...
