When a middle-aged couple downsizes to the countryside for an easier life, their two daughters become isolated, argumentative and violent ... A chilling, vicious and darkly funny psychological thriller

'Sharp, shocking and savagely funny. Helen Fitzgerald is a wonderfully original storyteller' Chris Whitaker

'A new novel from Helen Fitzgerald is always, a major event ... magnificent' Mark Billingham

'I devoured Keep Her Sweet ... shite parenting and a dysfunctional sister relationship goes to fatal extremes' Erin Kelly

-----------------

Desperate to enjoy their empty nest, Penny and Andeep downsize to the countryside, to forage, upcycle and fall in love again, only to be joined by their two twenty-something daughters, Asha and Camille.

Living on top of each other in a tiny house, with no way to make money, tensions simmer, and as Penny and Andeep focus increasingly on themselves, the girls become isolated, argumentative and violent.

When Asha injures Camille, a family therapist is called in, but she shrugs off the escalating violence between the sisters as a classic case of sibling rivalry ... and the stress of the family move.

But this is not sibling rivalry. The sisters are in far too deep for that.

This is a murder, just waiting to happen...

Chilling, vicious and darkly funny, Keep Her Sweet is not just a tense, sinister psychological thriller, but a startling look at sister relationships and they bonds they share ... or shatter.
