Death in Her Hands

€13,95

Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn't me.

Here is her dead body. While on her daily walk with her dog in the woods near her home, Vesta comes across a chilling handwritten note. Shaky even on her best days, Vesta is also alone, and new to the area, having moved here after the death of her husband.

Her brooding about the note grows quickly into a full-blown obsession: who was Magda and how did she meet her fate?From the Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen comes this razor-sharp, chilling and darkly hilarious novel about the stories we tell ourselves and how we strive to obscure the truth. The Vintage Classics Weird Girls series: Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of weird fiction with nine books by nine pioneering female authors. Bold, disruptive, chilling and enchanting, these tales of the weird are strange enough to get lost in.
