Cilla is a 22-year-old contract killer, specialising in the dry job: a murder interpreted as death by natural causes. Her main client, Vladimir Haugr, is the owner of TGRs bridge club in London. In return for a flat, a retainer and expenses, Cilla does five jobs a year. She occasionally works freelance. Neither strong, nor beautiful, she isnt your typical female protagonist. In fact, she is so unremarkable as to render her almost invisible, an advantage in her line of work. She has survived because she is clever, stubborn and lucky. But Cilla knows that, statistically, her luck is about to run out. She must find a way to reinvent herself. Soon. She also knows that she is invaluable to Vladimir Haugr, and that he will never let her go. Will Cilla be able to reinvent herself And if so, at what cost
A brilliantly clever excursion into the mind of a contract killer Amazing. - Celia Anderson. 'MURDER BY NATURAL CAUSES is a sleek, smart, needling ripper of a thriller. Cilla is a smooth operator, a Dry Job assassin, an artist of accurate hurt. Helen Erichsen has crafted an utterly seductive flip on the femme fatale who will leave you breathless.' Margot Douaihy, author of SCORCHED GRACE
