Publisher's summary
Sweetpea soon to be a major TV series starring Ella Purnell
She’s back and killing for two…
Rhiannon Lewis should be happy.
Her cheating fiancé is in jail – framed for the depraved killing spree she committed. Her ex-lover is chopped up and buried where no-one will find him.
But there’s one small problem. She’s pregnant.
And as much as Rhiannon wants to continue working her way through her kill lists, a small voice inside is trying to make her stop.
Now Rhiannon has to choose – motherhood or murder.
Critic reviews

"This anti-hero is psychotic without doubt, sexually voracious and incredibly funny." (Shots Magazine)

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy meet every Thursday to sample fine cheeses, to reminisce about their former lives as professors, and lately, to muse about murder. Decades ago, a vicious cabal of male poets contrived—quite publicly and successfully—to undermine the writing career, confidence, and health of their dear friend Fern. Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta.

"More cuckoo than Switzerland."
Rhiannon Lewis is not the first murderous anti hero of a literary work. Most notably, there has been the self serving, talented Mr.Ripley, moving up in wealth and society through his carefully choreographed killings. And, of course, Dexter, who pacified his dark passenger by eliminating those whose own serious misdeeds were untouchable by the law. And both of these characters, despite their sociopathic actions, were nevertheless charming and endearing to those, at least, not at the sharp end of their more vicious attentions.. Sadly, pregnant Rhiannon might have rid the world of a couple of sexual predators - her justification for allowing her inner anger loose - but she is also an unpleasant and miserable protagonist, moaning, despising and using those around her, taking advantage of the everyday kindness of others whilst manipulating those she saw as weaker to take revenge. Her internal musings are crude and unpleasant, designed, no dkubt, for humour but definitely falling short. The killings, too, are crudely achieved and the whole seems so unkikely.
Narration by Georgia Maguire is good except that the voicings of the assorted protagonists often seems inappropriate for the character speaking, and, in particular, that of the unborn child, a baby girl, with whom Rhiannon has an ongoing dialogue. Perhaps this, too, was supposed to be amusing rather than the districting interruption it became.
The writing of In Bloom was good. But the story? Apart from bad temper, grievances, and self pity, very little really happens outside of pregnancy, heartburn, nausea and other lavatory movements, plus some attention from a D.I.Jericho. And it takes 12 hours to do this. Perhaps had I first read the earlier book I might have been more invested in Rhiannon and her grubby little world. As it was, I finished it but was disappointed.

Interesting premise
Interesting.
Disturbing.
A bit too sympathetic to a serial killer, but nothing outrageous compared to say, Dexter.
It did rely a lot on the previous book to drive the plot. But I hadn’t read it and didn’t notice big gaps.
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.
