Nine Lives

The trouble in Kate’s life begins when an old flame turns up. Too many odd things start happening and she doesn’t trust him. When her cat is slaughtered in her kitchen, followed by her brother and the similar death of a neighbour, she knows it is a warning and she could well be next.

A stranger, who seems to kill indiscriminately, accompanied by the voice in her head that hovers between sarcasm and unhelpful misleading advice, dominates the tone of Nine Lives. Convinced she has only one life left and could be next to die, Kate decides to run. But in the absence of knowing who the killer might be, what would be the point of running?
