书籍信息

“华丽的”。理查德·奥斯曼“Razor-sharp。”为了朋友你会走多远？爱德华生活在一个他负担不起的世界，一个他不属于的世界。为了掩饰自己，他一直在迎合朋友们的需求：取干洗衣物，为首映式整理鲜花。这是一种高尚的努力，真的——任何事情都可以让他糟糕的“好朋友”罗伯特和斯坦扎开心。

作为回报，他接近他们的富足可能会抹去他出生的耻辱和暴力的过去。但是爱德华从剑桥时代起就秘密地爱上了斯坦扎。斯坦扎和罗伯特是一对的惊人发现把他推得太远了。

他的小善举变成了邪恶的举动，让位于爱德华内心深处难以形容的残暴。他为朋友做的事有限度吗?他会对他们做什么有限制吗?《顽皮的小字母》(WICKED LITTLE LETTERS)由奥利维亚·科尔曼和杰西·巴克利主演，“新鲜、恐怖、苦乐参半、残酷……”克里斯·惠特克:《索尔特本》、《天才里普利先生》以及《书商之死》等书的粉丝们的低俗玩笑。

“非常有趣。”为《神秘历史》和《天才里普利先生》的粉丝准备的微妙而扣人心弦的惊悚片克莱尔·麦高恩：读者在说什么?

“我喜欢《凯勒比密码》。”

我们下层社会的主人公拼命想融入有毒的朋友群体，对不劳而获的财富和成功日益增长的怨恨，以及不可避免的临界点。“这是一本越读越吸引人、越离奇的书，你一定要读。”“非常愉快……就像坐过山车一样，有很多尴尬和大笑的时刻。”

'Magnificent.' Richard Osman'Razor-sharp.' Erin Kelly How far would you go for a friend?Edward is living in a world he can't afford and to which he doesn't belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends' needs: fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It's a noble effort, really - anything to keep his perfectly awful 'best pals' Robert and Stanza happy.

In return, his proximity to their abundance might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away. But Edward has - secretly - been in love with Stanza since their Cambridge days. The shattering discovery that Stanza and Robert are an item pushes him too far.

His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core. Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?From the mind behind the "laugh-out-loud funny" (Mark Kermode) new film WICKED LITTLE LETTERS starring Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley'Fresh, frightening, bittersweet and brutal..' Chris Whitaker'A dastardly romp for fans of 'Saltburn', The Talented Mr Ripley and dare I say a horrible little book called Death of a Bookseller . .

'A lot of fun.' Alice Slater'A subtle and gripping thriller for fans of The Secret History and The Talented Mr. Ripley.' Claire McGowanWHAT READERS ARE SAYING .

'I loved The Kellerby Code.'

The toxic friend group our lower class protagonist bends over backwards to fit into, the growing resentment of the effortless wealth and success and the inevitable tipping point.''This is one of those books that get more absorbing and utterly bizarre as it goes, you absolutely have to read it.'' 'Immensely enjoyable . . .A wild roller coaster ride with plenty of cringeworthy and laugh out loud moments.'
