A homicidal couple embarks on a luxury holiday to save their marriage. After years of secrets and self-restraint, they've reached breaking point. But three days into the trip, they run into Benny, an acquaintance from their Cambridge days. And Benny is desperate to reminisce about a time – and a person – they would rather forget.

Darkly funny and razor-sharp, I'll Be the Monster follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as it plays out under the stifling heat of the Mediterranean sun.

Critic reviews

'An ingenious premise, backed up with pitch-perfect dialogue, arresting scenes and a caustic humour ... one of our most promising emerging writers.' (Sophie Mackintosh, author of Cursed Bread)
'A menacingly funny, daring debut that deserves a spot at the top of every 2026 TBR pile.' (Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb)

The ending was so anticlimactic after the story and content was so meaty. I literally finished it and thought, What, is that it?
