The Death of Us by Abigail Dean review: Harrowing but unforgettable
You won’t forget this emotionally-charged novel in a hurry.
Author: Kim Snaith
By day, I'm a writer and editor, typically writing about video games and Lego. In my free time, you'll typically find me with my nose in a book. My favourite genres are crime/thriller, although anything with an intriguing plot grounded in reality will pique my interest. I'm also an animal lover, still addicted to Friends and love being by the sea.
