'A fresh new voice in crime fiction' - JANICE HALLETT'A tragicomic banger' - HARRIET TYCE'Funny, sad, witty and very engaging' - EMMA CURTISEveryone needs a hobby...Things haven't been going well for Beth. Her husband has left her for one of her friends. Her fellow school mums judge her for swearing too much and not shifting the baby weight. And now she's stuck in A&E after her son fell off the climbing wall on the first day of school.In fact, things haven't been going well for Beth since Charlotte died - her best friend, a favourite at the school pick-ups and the only person to ever run an interesting PTA meeting. But after being hit by a car while on an ill-timed evening jog, Charlotte is no longer there to help Beth pick up the pieces of her increasingly difficult life.That is, until Beth discovers that Charlotte left her toddler alone in the house during that fatal run. The Charlotte she knew would never do something so irresponsible, and suddenly Beth is questioning whether Charlotte's death was really an accident. With a newfound purpose and a glass of wine in hand, it's time for Beth to uncover what really happened to her best friend. And what better place to start than the circle of chatty school mums, who can't be as perfect as they pretend. But which of them is hiding something? Beth's determined to find out. Once she's put the kids to bed, of course...'Darkly funny and deftly plotted' - ALICE CLARK-PLATTS'Riotously funny and searingly observed' - KATE SIMANTS'A twisty-turny mystery that drew me in from the opening lines' - PHILIPPA EAST

Recenzii

A compelling story of complex relationships, subterfuge and mystery... So intriguing I couldn't put it down
Funny but heart-rending... Even at her most chaotic, Beth is lovely, and her methods of investigating Charlotte's death are wholly original
Another superb blend of dark humour and intriguing mystery from Joanna Wallace... An atmosphere of tension and danger permeates The Dead Friend Project even as the gallows humour flows thick and fast
Well-written, ably-plotted... Works well as a novel, and fairly well as a mystery
A tragic accident, a dead friend and a fresh new voice in crime fiction... This vivid, witty story is expertly told in mesmerising detail and with boundless energy, but there's a proper murder mystery at its heart. Joanna Wallace draws you into a deceptively ordinary world before she revels in the delicious horror beneath. Pure class
I loved this. Some of my favourite themes (issues with booze, school gate dramas) brought together in a tragicomic banger with some pitch-perfect passive aggression
Motherland with murder! I haven't laughed so much in ages, then been struck speechless with horror... Funny, sad, wicked and very engaging
Joanna Wallace harnesses the inner monologue of every parent who's suffered at the hands of the unrelenting tiger mother. The Dead Friend Project is Fleabag meets Absolutely Fabulous and everything in between. Darkly hilarious and 2024's must-read
Had me rolling around with laughter on one page, and filled with empathy the next. The Dead Friend Project is hilariously brilliant, and Joanna Wallace is a rare talent
Darkly funny and deftly plotted
A twisty-turny mystery with a brilliantly-relatable protagonist, characters that leap of the page and a narrative voice that drew me in from the opening lines. This is a brilliantly-entertaining and engaging read
Supremely well plotted and often hilariously funny
Come for the murder and stay for the errant labradors and the Sweaty Betty mums. The Dead Friend Project had me snorting out loud one moment then covering my mouth with my hands the next. Witty, smart and terrifyingly well-observed
Riotously funny, dark as anything, heartfelt and searingly observed
A brilliant romp of a murder mystery; fast-paced, darkly funny, and utterly captivating. Can't recommend this highly enough
An enthralling tale of secret obsessions and shocking revelations, shot through with Wallace's trademark dark humour. You'll never look at school gate parents the same way again
Wallace may have invented a new genre. Not cosy crime or comic crime, but clever crime
A cast of well-crafted characters, the blackest of humour and a mystery that twists and turns its way to a very satisfying ending
Brilliantly plotted, and dark and funny
Darkly funny and touchingly observant, The Dead Friend Project is a page turner of an emotional thriller
A wonderful antidote for anyone who's suffered the Groundhog Day torture of the school run! Perfectly observed and brilliantly funny
A perfectly paced and brilliantly executed murder mystery with a twist and a main character you can't help rooting for even at her most awful
A wickedly funny thriller that kept me guessing to the last page
I loved The Dead Friend Project for its brilliantly dark humour! School gate conflicts degenerate into murder in this hilarious and fast-moving thriller
A beautifully written, darkly twisting mystery that manages to be both very funny and deeply moving. Highly recommended to readers who love clever thrillers
Funny, dark and compelling. Beth's not giving up on her dead friend - for anything
Tapping into the trauma of school runs, Wallace has skillfully weaved tragedy and dark comedy together to create a story that makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you want to kill most of the PTA mums. A thoroughly entertaining read
Joanna Wallace has a unique ability to conceal spiky social commentary and a sharp dose of empathy beneath her trademark cushion of laugh-out-loud humour. Will appeal to anyone who knows that parents often behave worse than their kids. The most original thriller you'll read this year
