Painkiller

by N.J.Fountain (Author)

Synopsis

I cannot go on like this. I feel such a burden to you. You are young and can start again. You deserve that chance. By the time you read this I will be dead. Do not grieve for me, for I am now without pain.

Yours truly for ever,
Monica

Monica suffers from chronic neuropathic pain. Every second of her life is spent in agony, and she is coping with it the best she can. However, there are whole years of her life which are a blur to her.

But when she finds what appears to be her own suicide note, Monica begins to question everything. She has no memory of writing it - so who did? And if someone tried to kill her once, what's to say they won't try again . . .

A read-in-one-sitting edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, I Let You Go and Before I Go To Sleep.

Media Reviews
Terrific, engaging, brand new. The twist, which I didn't see coming, is perfectly set up. In fact, it was forehead-smackingly clever. Monica wil stay with me for ever * Steven Moffat *
NJ Fountain has produced a beautifully written thriller that manages to be both devious and compulsive * Ben Aaronovitch *
The deeply conflicted Monica is a woman living on the edge, dealing with constant pain and using drugs to survive. But how much of the pain is, in fact, real? Painkiller is about her attempts to discover the reality of her situation, and the results are shocking. * Barry Forshaw, Financial Times *
