“A twisted comeuppance story, a campus-life spoof, and a look at the dating-app generation of women negotiating how their desire to be desired might sit with the feminism they treasure. Wow. Think Fleabag channeled by Valerie Solanas.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Thomson debuts with the scintillating tale of a disillusioned Cambridge University PhD student who goes on a killing spree . . . adds intriguing layers to the sordid thriller plot, such as accessible descriptions of the complex sociological theories of Saidiya Hartman and Stuart Hall, and the story includes a shocking revelation about the origin of Yrsa’s killer instinct. There’s a staggering level of depth to this pitch-perfect satire.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
