I cannot go on like this. I feel like 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 forever, Monica.
Clever thriller Painkiller is Private Eye writer Nev Fountain’s debut novel and it is absolutely brilliant.
