Desperate to save her, Thea accidentally kills the man responsible and lets his life flow directly into Ruth.

Produktbeschreibung
Thea has a secret. She can tell how long someone has left to live just by touching them. Not only that, but she can transfer life from one person to another-something she finds out the hard way when her best friend, Ruth, suffers a fatal head injury on a night out. Desperate to save her, Thea accidentally kills the man responsible and lets his life flow directly into Ruth. Thea comes to understand that she has a godlike power, but how to use it quickly becomes a question of self-control. Is it really so wrong to take a little life from a bad person-say, a very annoying boss-and gift it to someone who's truly good? Realizing she needs to harness her newfound skills, Thea creates an Ethical Guide to Murder. But as she embarks on her mission to punish the wicked and give the deserving more time, she finds good and bad aren't as simple as she first thought. How can she really know who deserves to live and die, and can she figure out her own rules before Ruth's borrowed time runs out?

Rezensionen
'A wonderfully hooky premise with the emotional depth to back it up, An Ethical Guide to Murder is a stellar debut from Jenny Morris. The Trolley Problem for the Uber age' Callum McSorley, author of Squeaky Clean, winner of the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Novel of the Year 2024

'A darkly compelling and brilliantly original take on power, morality, and consequence. Thea's extraordinary gift is both a blessing and a curse, and watching her navigate the blurry line between justice and vengeance makes for an absolutely gripping read. With razor-sharp prose and wonderfully relatable characters, Morris asks the ultimate question: if you had the power of life and death, how far would you go? I couldn't put it down' Amanda Cassidy, Irish Times Bestselling author of The Perfect Place

'You do not want to miss this! A fresh, humorous yet thought-provoking tale of one ordinary, complex woman's quest to put her superpower to good use. Thea's dilemmas of who lives and who dies will keep you pounding through the pages with a smile on your face and an ache in your heart' Graham Bartlett, author of City on Fire

'A deliciously dark, entertainingly sincere Dexter meets Sophie's Choice. Loved it!' Claire Wilson, author of Five by Five

'An Ethical Guide to Murder is a thought-provoking whirlwind of a ride with unexpected twists, well-timed humor, and a propulsive plot. It kept me on my toes until the last page, and I'm still thinking about it!' Gloria Chao, author of The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club and Ex Marks the Spot…mehr
