MEET LINDA.

Linda lives a nice, normal life, on a nice, normal street with Terry, her perfectly ordinary husband.

Because nothing on Cavendish Avenue is quite as it seems. People have started to go missing in the neighbourhood and Linda will soon discover that some secrets can’t stay buried forever…

Publisher Review

'Compellingly creepy, with precisely observed characterisation, A Tidy Ending combines pathos with lovely flashes of humour and a wholly unexpected ending' Guardian 'Devastating, deceptive and darkly funny. Classic Cannon' Sarah Winman 'Original, macabre and the reveal of the twist made me laugh with shock and delight. Never less than intriguing, it had me holding my breath!' Marian Keyes 'Cannon's shrewd characterisation, sparky observations and subtly menacing plot makes this a darkly funny and delightfully sinister read' Mail On Sunday 'A genuinely funny, and moving, novel about a serial killer... Cannon's version of suburbia is wonderfully creepy and claustrophobic... Linda is still tugging at my heart strings a little, days after finishing' Observer '[A] genuinely haunting finish' The Times 'Written with warmth and wit, Joanna Cannon's brilliant writing makes A Tidy Ending not just a twist-laden mystery, but a keenly observed slice of life. Her best yet' Clare Mackintosh 'A stupendous novel... complicated, dark, funny and very human' Fern Britton 'A dark, creepy domestic noir' Sun 'Entertaining and dark' Stylist 'I literally put the light on in the middle of the night in order to carry on reading it. Compelling, sinister, brilliantly written, it is a complete triumph' Katie Fforde 'Cleverly structured, building up to shocking and ingenious revelations' Sunday Express 'Joanna Cannon creates a world that is so real, so parochial & stifling you can feel it. Then adds in a killer. Glorious' Jane Fallon 'A compellingly crafted, darkly funny and compulsive read, full of twists... a joy and a triumph' Rachel Joyce 'Jo's writing is as delicate and precise as tapestry and Linda is a character you'll never forget' Jill Mansell 'Dark and moreish' i paper
