Let the Bad Times Roll
EVERYONE KNOWS DANIEL.
BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS.
‘A heady, potent cocktail of a novel. I downed it in one’ ERIN KELLY
Daniel is missing. No one has seen or heard from him in weeks. Beside herself with worry, his sister Caroline hosts an intimate gathering in her London home to grill those who knew Daniel best. But there’s a stranger at the table – an accomplished psychic who claims to have met Daniel in New Orleans. As doubt blooms, tempers fray, and secrets spill like cocktails in the rowdy French Quarter.
How well do we really know the people we love, and what are they capable of doing?

‘So good I read it twice’
‘It’s sharp, lush, and perfect for a summer binge‘
‘Another incredibly gripping novel that I devoured in under 24 hours’

Savage, witty and all-consuming, both a love letter to bookselling and a thriller of the most unsettling variety
A heady, potent cocktail of a novel. I downed it in one
A dark, sticky, pungent gumbo of a book, Alice Slater's latest has the vibes of The Secret History and Daisy Jones and the Six . . . A wickedly fun read
Alice Slater serves up dark and twisty thrillers like a smoked Sazerac: intoxicating, sharp-edged and burning with obsession
A veritable feast of secret passions and hidden betrayals. Alice Slater is the queen of the dark and delectable thriller
A savage gem of a book. Slater moves from strength to strength with this blackly comic mystery, bringing both warmth and nastiness to a story of envy, deception and very, very good food
Equal parts lush, funny and ghastly, spiked with hedonism and not a little vengeance, Let the Bad Times Roll is a delicious, bittersweet concoction that should be downed in a single gulp
The writer's razor-sharp attitude and skill are on magnificent display in this tightly wound mystery
In the follow-up to Slater's delicious black comedy debut, Caroline's brother is missing and a psychic claims to have crossed paths with him 4000 miles away
Tense, arch and impossible to put down
