Mostly Murders

A raw tale of revenge and a dark comedy about oppression, hypocrisy and the freedom to choose your own path in life.

Abraham, or AB for short, is the favoured child, the golden boy of the Berg family. Sarah, his younger sister, is the black sheep who was disowned by their mother when she divorced her husband, leaving the cult-like church her family still attends. Now, Sarah has found somewhere new to belong to. The Un-Club, recommended to her by her new best friend Blake, run by the stone-cold Klara and the sexy Preacher, promises to help its members achieve revenge.

Every member of the Un-Club must have a plan for revenge, and Sarah’s plan leads her to work for her brother AB and return to her family home. But even the best of plans have their flaws, and Sarah’s plan is probably not the best of plans to begin with. Soon she finds herself embroiled in family drama, involved with scammers and thieves, tangled up in unhealthy sexual relationships and uncovering evidence of predatory sexual grooming and abuse, kidnapping, potential murder and more.

But Sarah does not give up that easily. Under the rough surface of Sarah’s suffering, there is still a tender heart beating for justice, love and doing the right thing, no matter how many blows life tries to rain down on her. But can she find her own way in life, surrounded by scammers and thieves, oppression and hypocrisy? And can she find out who to trust and who not to before it’s too late?

Not for the faint of heart, this novel is disturbing, warped and marches to its very own beat. It will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those looking for a darker, weirder, edgier read with a morally grey protagonist and straight-up horrible antagonists, this one might be just the shot of booze they were looking for.

Thank you so much to Fawkes Press for the review copy of this novel.
