From serial dating to serial killings… A tangled, dynamic, darkly humorous detective story about the horrors that can await you in the world of online dating. Perfect reading for fans of the TV series “You.” Gwen Turner: 29 years old, an entrepreneur and part-time barista at the coffee truck “Cappuccino.” Loves: cheese chips (the more unnatural the color, the better), true-crime podcasts, and constantly staying in the dating app. Doesn’t like: a two-day hangover, people who call themselves entrepreneurs… and being the object of obsession of a serial killer (that should probably be number one). Not long ago, Gwen had a cloudless future with her lover, Noah—but one evening shattered all her plans. Now she’s alone and desperately trying to find new love in a dating app. One problem: in small coastal Eastbourne, there aren’t that many candidates. And the worthy ones are even fewer. The situation gets worse when the man Gwen went on a date with is found murdered. Then another… But worse than that: the killer started messaging her in the app—and he clearly isn’t planning to stop. Under police suspicion, she decides to figure out the maniac herself…
