A thrilling comedy, as dark as it is farcical - the horrifying and entertaining tale of an unrepentant bourgeois serial killer, Morris Duckworth, and his adventures in Veronese high society

Morris Duckworth can’t get over Mimi.

But maybe he should have thought of that before he murdered her and married her sister.

Now Mimi’s back as a ghost, and she seems to be suggesting the way to redemption for Morris. And if anybody should get in his charitable way, then so much the worse for them.

Praise for Mimi's Ghost

A twisted whodunit…hilarious

Financial Times

Parks writes with a brutal, snapping wit

Sunday Times

A triumph of the darkly-comic-thriller-and-something-more-besides genre

Daily Telegraph

A sort of twisted whodunnit… The readability of the book comes from Parks’s wonderful and audacious juggling of farcical situations and the way in which Morris’s earnest attempts to build a more cultured and just world lead him further and further into slaughter. Hilarious.

Financial Times

Tarantino meets Peter Mayle

Independent on Sunday

Cara Massimina was a triumph of the darkly-comic-thriller-and-something-more-besides genre. This is an even greater one
