Last Night Was Killer
A Novel"An inventive mystery loaded with humor, heart, and found family." — People Magazine “I have never had so much fun watching a fictional character try to figure out if she killed someone or not.

Last Night Was Killer is a smart, funny mystery with a heroine you can’t help but root for.” — Kelsey Cox, USA Today bestselling author of Party of Liars “Last Night Was Killer somehow seamlessly combines a murder mystery, a terrorist plot, pole dancing, grief, motherhood, stand-up comedy and fighting the patriarchy into one utterly delightful page-turning story that is equal parts heart and laughs. That's truly some writerly magic, folks. Buckle up for a wild, laugh-out- loud, one-of-a-kind reading adventure (emphasis: adventure) that only the singular Mary Pauline Lowry could deliver.” — Christine Pride, Author of All The Men I've Loved Again "Last Night Was Killer has everything you want in a comedic mystery—gut punches of laughter interlaced with a twisty puzzle that will have even the savviest readers desperately flipping the pages for answers. But what shines most brightly is the protagonist at its big beating heart. By the end, Tilly Turner and the rest of the unforgettable cast feel like real, live friends. This book is just like her, full of sunshine and ferocity, impossible not to love." — Alex Kiester, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Missing Half “How was I to know that a novel about a single mother taking an Into to Pole Dancing class would become my favorite thriller of the year?... Last Night Was Killer reminded me of the works of Harry Crews and Rufi Thorpe—every character simultaneously colorful, fabulous, fully realized, and deeply relatable. I’ll be recommending this novel all summer…and maybe, just maybe, signing up for a pole dancing class myself.” — Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters
