The Art of Getting Hammered

* FROM THE AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF YOU'D LOOK BETTER AS A GHOST * 'The gold standard of twisted crime fiction' - JANICE HALLETT 'Dark humour at its absolute finest' - J.M. HEWITT 'Literature's most relatable serial killer' - JO FURNISS MURDER IS HER MASTERPIECE. What use is a part-time serial killer who doesn't want to kill people? Once the terror of rude and irritating people everywhere, now Claire has lost her murderous mojo. Not even the overly chatty woman in the supermarket or the man who stole her neighbour's dog can motivate her to get out the zip ties. Then a lucky break and a new job in the local pub gives Claire the perfect target: someone is spiking drinks and causing mayhem. But as Claire closes in on the culprit, punters start dropping like flies - and for once she's not the one doing the killing. Is someone else murdering on her patch? Claire has questions. And she's not afraid to use her hammer to get answers...
