Description

A wickedly funny behind-the-scenes whodunnit and a thrilling feminist exploration of our cultural addiction to true crime stories - for fans of Lucy Foley and Meg Gardiner. 

Don't end up on the cutting room floor

Some girl dies. Film editor Marissa has read better loglines for films, but still jumps at the chance to travel to a small island to work with the legendary - and legendarily demanding - director Tony Rees.

Soon she discovers that on this set, nothing is as it seems. There are rumours of accidents and indiscretions, of burgeoning scandals and perilous schemes. In the midst of this chaos, Marissa is herself drawn into an amateur investigation of the real-life murder that is the movie's central subject.

Don't end up on the...
