BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

'A tense, claustrophobic boiling pot of a psych thriller. Trust no one!' - S.E. Lynes

'Unique, unpredictable and utterly gripping' - Rob Parker

In a prestigious Edinburgh apartment building, gym receptionist Evie whiles away long hours doodling the deaths of residents who’ve annoyed her.

On her birthday of all days, a man slumps off the exercise bike — dead. She tries to get help, but someone has locked the doors and the phones are out of reach.

When another resident collapses inexplicably, Evie realises the deaths resemble those she drew … and her sketchbook is missing.

Was she framed...

... or is she next?

KILLER BODIES: Old-school 'impossible crimes' scattered over suspenseful, darkly humorous and visually surprising pages in this modern locked room thriller that will leave you wondering not just WHO killed all these people and WHY, but also HOW.

'Deliciously fresh and gruesome take on the Locked Room mystery - plenty of dark humour and fantastic characterisation. It will keep you guessing until the very end!' - Sarah Moorhead

'It takes real skill for a writer to be able to hold a reader's interest when so much of the book takes place within the same four walls, but Heleen Kist did so with aplomb!'- Heather Fitt

'Immensely satisfying' - Awais Khan


A perfect mix of the thrill of Ruth Ware's 'The Turn of the Key', Catherine Cooper's 'The Chalet' and Sarah Pearce's 'The Sanatorium' with a dash of Knives Out flair.
