'Stirring to its very core, This Immaculate Body enthrals beyond measure' LUCY ROSE, author of THE LAMB

'Momentous, kaleidoscopic . . . A wild ride from start to finish' HANAKO FOOTMAN, author of MONGREL

'Stunningly accomplished' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS, author of FUNDAMENTALLY

'Shocking . . . darkly funny' OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE, author of MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER

'It's a ride you don't want to end' COSMOPOLITAN


Can you climb inside a stranger's life and make him love you?

Alice has been cleaning Tom's flat every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every crease smoothed out in his bed, every multivitamin counted from the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation. But as Alice prepares for the moment when they will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was.

This Immaculate Body is a story of obsession, of the way women view the world and the ways that the world views them. As Alice frantically tries to cling to an imagined future with Tom, the line between fantasy and reality become ever more blurred, putting everything she has dreamed of at risk.


'Obsessive, delusional, disastrous - but so intricately woven with heart, warmth and empathy' ALICE SLATER, author of DEATH OF A BOOKSELLER

'Original, darkly funny and addictive with twists that will leave you reeling' GLAMOUR

'An evocative story that deserves immediate cult status' DAZED

'If this doesn't make you cancel your cleaner, nothing will' THE TIMES

[published in the US under the title Creep]
