In an idyllic, peaceful island setting two charming children conspire to execute the perfect murder - and get away with it.

Going to live with his uncle on a remote island recently-orphaned Barnaby Gaunt should be having the perfect upbringing. Except for the fact that his uncle was trying to kill him.
Heir to a fortune, no-one will believe Barnaby when he insists that his uncle is after his inheritance. That is until he tells the only other child on the island - Chrissie - who tells him there's only one option he has left. Fearing for his life, Barnaby and Chrissie conclude there is only one way to stop his murderous uncle: Barnaby will have to kill him first!
Playful, dark and witty, Let's Kill Uncle is an adventure story full of twists and turns.

Industry Reviews

'A dark, whimsical, startling book, far ahead of its time' Donna Tartt 'There must be a reason we have never heard of Rohan O'Grady for all these years -- but I cannot find it in the pages of Let's Kill Uncle. A thrilling, original book, exquisitely written, and unforgettable -- a classic, rediscovered' Hanan al-Shaykh 'Playfully sinister' Washington Post 'Excellent story, told with much charm' Evening Standard
