If you want to poison someone, you need to be very sure. Anjali was, until the moment her mother clutched her heart and fell to the floor. Now, as she fights against time to stop the poison flooding her mother’s veins, Anjali realises she might not want her gone after all. The problem is, murder doesn’t have a pause button.
Told in obsessive, claustrophobic prose and spiraling train-of-thought narration, You Can’t Press Pause on Murder is a portrait of a woman unspooling at the edge of grief, guilt, and something far darker. Fans of Eileen, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, and We Need to Talk About Kevin will find themselves right at home (and deeply unsettled.)
