This darkly hilarious four-book paperback set collects the first four instalments of C. J. Skuse's cult Sweetpea series, following Rhiannon from suburban serial killer to fugitive bride-to-be. Filled with razor-sharp wit, twisted domestic chaos, and just enough menace to keep you up past bedtime, this collection is a must-have for readers who like their crime fiction laced with dark comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweetpea introduces Rhiannon Lewis, an unremarkable young woman working a demeaning office job, quietly maintaining a kill list of everyone who has ever wronged her — and finally starting to act on it. In Bloom picks up after Rhiannon has framed her cheating fiancé for her own bloody handiwork, only to discover she's pregnant with the child of a lover she has already disposed of, forcing her to weigh motherhood against her murderous urges. Dead Head sends the now-notorious \"Sweetpea Killer\" fleeing the UK aboard a cruise ship, trying to build a quiet new life at sea while old habits threaten to resurface among the passengers. Thorn In My Side finds Rhiannon keeping a lower profile during the pandemic, settled with a new fiancé and his family who love her for who they think she is — until the past inevitably catches up. Across all four books, Skuse balances laugh-out-loud dark comedy with genuine tension, crafting an anti-heroine readers root for even as she racks up a body count. Fans of morally grey protagonists and pitch-black humour will find this an addictive, page-turning binge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of the first four Sweetpea novels in one collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarkly comic anti-hero crime fiction with a devoted cult following\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, perfect for series newcomers or completists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for fans of dark humour, twisty thrillers and unconventional heroines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to carry, read or gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC.
