Jemma would kill to end the housing crisis - one landlord at a time...
Jemma has lost everything... Well, the very little she had. Her toxic boyfriend has run off with her best friend, leaving Jemma alone in their flat, and she can't afford the extortionate rent on her own. She's aimless, depressed and, above all, furious. Slowly but surely, her fury finds its focus: landlords. If only something could be done about them...
When Jemma's landlord has a fatal accident while carrying out a property repair, she stumbles across her life's mission: to punish as many landlords as possible. She begins targeting landlords who have appeared on her favourite binge-watch, a home-improvement TV show where their greed is laid bare. It's a messy job, but someone's got to do it.
Governed by her own rules, Jemma is convinced her actions are just - but how long before this vigilante turns villain?
An original debut with a very strong voice that offers a fresh and funny take on the housing crisis, class and female rage -- Elspeth Wilson, author of These Mortal Bodies
Pitch-black perfection - Samantha Dooey-Miles is an evil genius -- Kirstin Innes, author of Scabby Queen
A satire that asks the very important question: do landlords deserve to live? and then answers simply: no. This is an outrageously funny book, perfect for anyone who's ever looked at the mould creeping down the walls of their rental property and wondered if there just might be a better way. Read this if: you have a sense of humour about the property market and spend too much of your wages on rent. Don't read this if: you're a landlord behind on your repairs -- Laura Elliott, author of Awakened
