Update: The Killing Kind
Initially, I took a major false turn with The Killing Kind: Angel of the South Book Three. Basically, for various reasons, I didn’t have time to plan it as thoroughly as I would have liked. The result was an opening setup of about 14,000 words that felt inauthentic to the Britgrit vigilante thriller and crime fiction series brand.
So I started again, from scratch. The first draft is now finished, and is very much on brand for Angel of the South: funny in places, gritty, and Billie remains an utterly mesmerising character. As she says at one point:
‘Don’t look for a conscience. I’m still me.’
I’ve shelved the book for a couple of months now, partly because I need to get Good Deeds and Charity: Angel of the South Book 2 ready for publication, and partly because I’m still mulling over one aspect of the ending.
Blurb: Good Deeds and Charity
No reveals about The Killing Kind for now because it’s still in the development stage, but here’s the blurb for Good Deeds and Charity:
Billie Brindley is back. And she’s open for business.
Funded by MI5 in exchange for favours Billie can’t refuse, Angel of the South is a vigilante service designed to help the little fish. She’ll make the sharks pay her fees.
When a violent street gang attacks a community hero, Billie takes the case. She thinks it’s local. She’s wrong. The gang answers to someone far more dangerous.
Billie’s ex-husband Tom has settled down with Katie, his new girlfriend. But when Billie asks for his help, the bond between them pulls him back to a world he swore to leave.
And this time, the violence doesn’t stop with Tom or Billie. It’s coming for Katie.
