'piercingly honest... witty... wonderful' - The Observer 'My
favourite way to learn is when a funny, clever, honest person is
teaching me - that's why I love Rosie Wilby!' - Sara Pascoe 'Funny,
sweet, entertaining, insightful, life-affirming...' - Viv Groskop
'Hilarious, honest and brilliant' - Helen Thorn 'Rosie Wilby
unearths the hope and hilarity that can come from heartbreak' -
Abigail Tarttelin In 2011, comedian and podcaster Rosie Wilby was
dumped by email... though she did feel a little better about it
after correcting her ex's spelling and punctuation. Obsessing about
breakups ever since, she embarked on a quest to investigate,
understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. This book is a
love letter to her breakups, a celebration of what they have taught
her peppered with anecdotes from illustrious friends and interviews
with relationship therapists, scientists and sociologists about
separating in the modern age of ghosting, breadcrumbing and
conscious uncoupling. Mixing humour, memoir and science, she
attempts to assimilate their advice and ideas in order to not break
up with Girlfriend, her partner of nearly three years. Will this
self-confessed serial monogamist, and breakup addict, finally
settle down?
If no one knows you're in danger, no one can save you...The Baxter
house in the Lowther Hills, in Scotland, has been up for sale for
decades. It's dilapidated and near-derelict, and nobody is
interested in it. But for one potential buyer, the remote location
and rat-infested cellar are just what he's looking for. For the
first year, Mackenzie's marriage to Derek was ideal. Now though,
Derek believes she is having an affair, and when she fears her
husband is becoming controlling, she knows she's made a terrible
mistake. But Mackenzie has a drinking problem, so when she
threatens to leave Derek and then disappears, no one believes she
has been abducted. It will fall to DS Geddes to untangle the
truth... Owen Mullen is a best-selling author of psychological and
gangland thrillers. His fast-paced, twist-aplenty stories are
perfect for all fans of Robert Galbraith, Ian Rankin and Ann
Cleeves. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how
to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never fails to
give you hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that will stay
with you forever...' 'One of the very best thriller writers I have
ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his
characters to life and the endings are hard to guess and never what
you expected.'
