BESTIES, LOYALTY & LOVE.A STORY ABOUT BESTIES, WRITTEN BY BESTIES

“Celebrating the clever, messy, and sometimes deadly ways women support each other”

LOVE IS MURDER is for anyone who has ever had a messy date, a broken heart or a best friend who would burn the world down for them. It's a valentine to fierce loyalty, to surviving situationships and to the people who show up when things get dark.

We live in a culture obsessed with true crime, yet the women at the center of dating disasters are still the ones who get blamed. Let's flip that trope on its head.

Audiences are hungry for female-led stories that bite back, and Love Is Murder is unapologetic about doing exactly that.

THE AUTHORS C.H. LYN & TRACEY BARSKI

“When Tracey and I wrote Love is Murder we knew it would be hilarious. Hell, we were cracking up the entire time we planned the thing. What we didn't know was how loved this silly, dark, and bloody story would be. Maybe we should have expected it: a book about two best friends willing to do anything for each other. But it surprised us, and surprises us still every time someone asks when the next installment is coming out.”
