Bloomsbury presents, A Beautiful Way to Die by Eleni Kyriacou, read by Emma Gregory.
Don't miss the new novel from Eleni Kyriacou, author of BBC Between the Covers pick The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou.
'Gripping and compelling... so beautifully imagined.' LAURA MARSHALL
'Deeply atmospheric... From movie star glamour to the rotten core of fame, I couldn't put this down.' LOUISE HARE
PLAY THEIR GAME
Hollywood, 1953. Young actress Ginny Watkins is turning heads. Even the legendary – and married – actor Max Whitman can’t resist the allure of the hottest new starlet. He promises Ginny the world, in return for the right favour.
DO WHAT THEY SAY
London, 1954. Stella Hope, once the most famous actress in Hollywood, has been ousted to Ealing Studios after her divorce from the powerful Max. Just as she accepts her fate, she receives a letter, blackmailing her for a mistake she made many years ago.
OR THEY’LL BURY YOU
Two women on either side of stardom find themselves in the orbit of the same beguiling man. And one night, in the shadows of a glamorous Oscars afterparty, their lives are changed forever...
A Beautiful Way to Die delves into the decadence and depravity of the early film industry from Hollywood to London. Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and films like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Babylon.
'Evocative, tense, seductive.' TAMMY COHEN
'Dark and gripping... Eleni’s compelling story may be set in the past but it is just as relevant today.' NIKKI SMITH
'I was utterly gripped.' LESLEY KARA
'Both dazzling and devastating.' CLARE WHITFIELD
'Shocking, moving, furious and ultimately hopeful.' NICOLA RAYNER
'Beneath the glitz and glamour of 1950’s Hollywood, lay a dark underbelly, which Kyriacou exposes with panache in this intricately plotted mystery.' LOUISE FEIN
'Outstanding... A compelling thriller with a beautiful twist to die for.' TREVOR WOOD
'A gorgeously dark slice of Hollywood noir.' LOUISE MUMFORD
'A pacy, addictive noir thriller.' GILL PAUL
Praise for Eleni Kyriacou:
'Impressive... worthy of Sarah Waters' THE TIMES
'Enthralling and wholly original' CLARE MACKINTOSH
