di Sydney Hunter (Autore)

Squabbling Sparrows Press, 2024

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. "When you say you'd do anything to lose the weight, do you really mean it?" Desperate people make stupid mistakes, and Marilyn Channing is no exception. Emerging from the wreckage of a messy divorce, she's determined to lose the weight gained from twenty years spent swallowing her pride. Enter The Vale, a spa nestled deep in the bush, miles from temptation, miles from help. In return, the retreat promises spectacular weight loss and a respite from the chaos of everyday life. It all sounds so lovely and supportive, so deceptively easy. Marilyn should have read the fine print. Because more terrifying than what's on the other side of the razor-wire perimeter fence, is Candice Hawkie. As malevolent as she is thin, the spa's manager has tapped into the abyss of humanity's darkest desires, one in which everything has a price, even death. In a world where the desire to lose weight comes at a cost, what lengths will Marilyn go to for the ultimate transformation? Find out in 'A Pound of Flesh,' where the scales of fate tip perilously between life and death. Set in stunning New Zealand, A Pound of Flesh is a standalone killer thriller that's perfect for those with a taste for the macabre and a decidedly dark sense of humor.
