About the Book

You Killed Me First by John Marrs opens with a gripping cold open: it's the 5th of November, and a woman wakes bound and gagged at the center of a towering bonfire, smoke thickening around her as she realizes she has only moments before the flames close in. From there, the story rewinds eleven months to show exactly how it came to this.

Margot, a once-famous television star now well past her prime, and her quietly resentful longtime friend Anna, watch as glamorous newcomer Liv moves into their street with her seemingly perfect family. The three women quickly form what looks, on the surface, like an easy new friendship — but each of them is hiding something, and Liv, for her part, senses almost immediately that something is deeply wrong beneath the neighborhood's polished façade. As the months tick down toward Bonfire Night, old grudges, jealousy, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, building toward the fiery confrontation glimpsed in the book's opening pages.

Sharp, twisty, and unexpectedly funny for a thriller, the novel showcases John Marrs's gift for cleverly layered plotting and morally complicated characters readers will love and hate in equal measure, delivering a suburban thriller that's as entertaining as it is suspenseful.
