A smart, fresh thriller from #1 bestseller Laura Marshall about a woman who is forced to help her parents when they kill their nightmare tenant - Bad Sisters meets The Good Life.

PRAISE FOR A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY:

Funny, tense and insightful, Laura Marshall has once again written a psychological thriller for our times . . . With vivid characters and a compelling plot, this had me turning the pages until the wee hours - I loved it

Laura Marshall has taken a dark scenario involving elderly parents that most people will identify with and combined it with such brilliant humour that I laughed out loud on more than one occasion. A fresh and very funny thriller. I loved it

A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY shocks and grips from the very first page . . . You'll never look at a flowerbed in the same way again. I loved it!

A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY is a darkly hilarious and acutely observed thriller about a middle-aged woman and the lengths she goes to protect her family. It is terrifying, but not in the way you might think, largely because it forces us to recognise that if placed in similar circumstances, we'd probably do exactly the same thing! Another brilliant novel from the murderously funny mind of Laura Marshall

A darkly funny and compulsive tale of loyalty, love and doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY kept me reading all night. I loved Penny and her family and laughed and gasped in equal measure as they juggled with the consequences of various very bad choices, desperate for all of them to get their happy ending

This book is an absolute joy. Gripping, funny, and brilliantly plotted, it deserves to be a smash hit

If you thought there were limits to what you'd do for your loved ones, this book will make you think again. With deep, dark humour and wonderfully conjured characters you'll be smirking with every page you fly through as the truth is finally revealed; we'll all do what it takes in the right circumstances. Gripping and ingenious!

One of the most engaging thrillers I've read in a while. The brilliant characterisation and inspired plot had me gripped until the last page - and what a final twist! Darkly comic and scarily unsettling in equal turn, A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY deserves every plaudit

I raced through A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY and loved every minute. It's dark and funny, creepy and surprising. Laura Marshall leads the reader down the garden path and back again in a wonderfully engaging and unpredictable way. I think she's got a hit on her hands

Dark, funny and fresh! A thriller that will get under your skin and stay there!

I always drop everything to read a new Laura Marshall and this may be my favourite yet. Right from the heart-in-mouth opening through to the brilliant conclusion, I was absolutely glued to it. I absolutely loved the setup, with the insidious, charming new tenant and Penny's hapless parents - who turn the tables. Sissy warrants a series of her own. Absolute 5* read!

A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY is an absolutely unputdownable riot of a read which had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. A book that will make you laugh, wince and cry in equal measure, be prepared to be shocked and surprised with every turn of the page. I absolutely loved it!

Murder shouldn't be pleasing but Penny and her parents are an utter delight. I raced through A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE A BODY. It's laugh out loud funny, touching and so full of character it's practically singing. Loved it from start to finish

A fun read with some dark humour and plenty of surprises and one which many members of the 'sandwich generation' will relate to

A hugely enjoyable thriller. Funny and dark, with characters you'll love. Laura Marshall has excelled herself!

A great page-turner with plenty of humour too! Look out for it in July

I finished this absolute belter of a book today. Fresh, funny, and tender - and full of razor-sharp observations. Characters you totally root for, and a baddie you could never tire of punching

Darkly funny, intensely well observed on family dynamics, it is a cracking take on the 'squeezed' generation. I felt very much seen and I hope this becomes a series of books for TV! Richard Osman watch out!

Absolutely genius - a dark and delicious comedy about dead bodies, aging parents and precious rose gardens

A tense, twisty, one-sitting read

Such a clever and thrilling read

Only the need to sleep stopped me reading it in one sitting. Such a page-turner with no let-up in pace!

A compelling plot interlaced with a growing unease I couldn't shake off - so clever!

Superb

A pacy, twisty page-turner

A name to watch!

A gripping, multi-layered story. Clever and nuanced

Clever, pacy and compelling

Gripping . . . the pages actually turned themselves
