My Review
Today, it’s my turn on the Random Things Tour for An Ethical Guide to Murder! I received an eARC for review and was also lucky enough to receive this stunning proof copy – huge thanks to the Likely Suspects.
This is a wonderfully fresh and original debut from Jenny Morris.
Thea is just an ordinary person – until she gains the ability to see how long someone has left to live. But then she discovers something even more shocking: she can take years/months/days from one person and gift them to another. As she experiments with her newfound power, her choices seem justifiable at first, but she soon realises that morality isn’t as clear-cut as she thought.
She gave me Light Yagami vibes. Like Death Note, Thea finds herself wielding immense power over life and death as the line between good intentions and dangerous obsession blurs. Is Thea truly saving lives, or is she inadvertently becoming a serial killer?
With a clever plot full of unexpected twists and an ending that will stay with you long after you close the book, this witty debut thriller will have you questioning mortality and leave you wondering – what would you do in Thea’s place?
Thank you again to the Likely Suspects and Random Things Tours for gifting me the free copies.
