If You Like...by Olivia Blacke, author of A New Lease on Death

By Olivia Blacke, Crime HQ, Julia Dahl, Ellie Keel

Not every book is inspired by great works of literature, life-defining moments, or current events. Sometimes, books can be inspired by—or at least influenced by—popular culture. A New Lease on Death is one of those.

I hope you’re gonna love A New Lease on Death.
