I didn't like the subject matter or the way it was written and wasn't interested enough in the outcome to slog through another...

In these letters she admits her terrible secret: she’s killed someone, and she hasn’t (so far) been caught. Through her letters we learn of her li...
4.5 StarsI absolutely loved Annabel Pitcher's debut novel My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece when I read it last year so I was incredibly excited to get my hands on an early copy of her second novel Ketchup Clouds. This book jumped straight to the top of my to read pile as soon as it arrived but I'l...
