Three women. One Killer.
Talking to strangers has never been more dangerous...


When the body of forty-four-year-old Karen Simmons is found abandoned in remote woodland, journalist Kiki Nunn is determined this will be the big break she so desperately needs.

Because she has a head start on all the other reporters. Just a week before Karen was killed, Kiki interviewed her about the highs and lows of mid-life romance. Karen told her all about kissing strangers on the beach under the stars, expensive meals, roses. About the scammers, the creeps, the man who followed her home the other night...

While the police appear to be focusing on local suspects, Kiki sets out to write the definitive piece on one woman's fatal search for love. But she will soon learn that the search for truth can be just as deadly...

ยฉ2024 Fiona Barton (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and has been published in thirty-seven countries and optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, and her third, The Suspect, were both bestsellers. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives on the south coast in West Sussex.

Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday, where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards.

While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile criminal cases and developed a fascination with watching those involved, their body language and verbal tics.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR TALKING TO STRANGERS This novel hits home. And it hurts. Tapping into very real fears faced by all women at some time in their lives, it delivers a terrifyingly real and addictive story. Another fiendishly plotted crime novel from Fiona Barton, highlighting the grubby underbelly of the dating scene. I predict a bestseller. Well imagined, cleverly plotted and with a completely surprising final twist. Another red-hot thriller from the author of The Widow and The Child. Barton effortlessly toggles between each womanโ€™s viewpoint, maintaining suspense as she builds to the plotโ€™s devastating resolution. Fans of Mark Billinghamโ€™s Tom Thorne novels will devour this. A blisteringly good, miss-your-stop read that raises some timely issues such as online dating, violence against women and victim blaming. Fiona Barton at her best. This latest from best-selling Barton is a twisty and highly satisfying nail-biter that will have her fans and new readers alike burning the midnight oil. A disturbing mystery that grips like a serpent. A chilling read. Expand reviews
