Paperback

Zoe Rosi is the author of eight novels. Her first six are romantic comedies, at which point she rebelled against the genre and penned a thriller about a vigilante serial killer of predatory men.

This novel, Pretty Evil, is heavily inspired by American Psycho and features a sociopathic murderer called Camilla Black, who is as stylish as she is vengeful, juggling a day job as a fashion magazine editor with her darker pursuits.

Pretty Evil was originally published in 2020, at the height of MeToo, under the title 'Predator'. It was praised in the press, being described as 'an erotic murder thriller for the MeToo generation... a must-read' by the Daily Express and as 'the ultimate revenge story' by The Independent. It has since been re-released by Thomas & Mercer.

Someone’s Watching Me is Zoe’s second thriller. In January 2024, her third psychological thriller, a novella entitled Courier is due to be published.

My Opinion

Courier by Zoe Rosi is an absolutely entertaining thriller that is going to definitely hook you up till the end. The story is fast-paced and does not allow you to rest, even for a little bit. Bob's character was more than creepy, and at a point, I thought it was going to have a happy ending. Just then, all the tables are turned, and what comes out is absolutely mind-blowing.

 

I was really not expecting a novella to be so amazing and complete in itself. Not a single thread was left hanging. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.
