With one touch, Thea knows exactly when someone is going to die. And when she realizes her roommate’s time is near, she also discovers that she can transfer life from one person to another.
Author Jenny Morris weaves humor into An Ethical Guide to Murder. Faced with her newfound abilities, Thea ponders the many facets of murder and whether it is ever justified.
Thea’s character falls into the category of someone who may do bad things for the right reason. She fumbles around in the gray area between right and wrong, seeking answers to impossible questions.
Her challenges at her job are comical, as are her efforts to put together a set of rules for herself regarding her new abilities. Taking life from the bad to give to the good proves to be much more challenging than expected.
An Ethical Guide to Murder delivers a fascinating storyline with a philosophical impact.
Jenny Morris lives in Crowborough, the home of Winnie the Pooh and an outrageous number of charity shops. She loves a moral dilemma, and writes high-concept crime novels that explore deep philosophical questions like ‘How much would I have to pay you to eat a human toe?’ She has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and works as a behavioural scientist. When not reading or writing, she enjoys galloping around the Ashdown Forest on a horse, foraging for mushrooms and getting way too intense about board games at the pub.
