All Us Sinners

'Powerful, provocative, beautiful and unforgettable. All Us Sinners is a chilling, moving, majestic debut' --- CHRIS WHITAKER Leeds, 1977. A chill lies over the city: sex workers are being murdered by a serial killer they are calling the 'Ripper', the streets creeping with fear. Tough, sharp, but tender, Maureen runs Rio's, a clean, discreet brothel in the city. She's a good boss who takes great care of her workers - especially her best girls, Bev and Anette. The Ripper may be terrifying girls who work the street, but at Rio's the girls seem safer. But when Bev's sweet-natured son is found beaten to death, a figure from Maureen's past, DS Mick Hunniford, shows up at her door. Does his arrival herald danger or salvation? And who can Maureen really trust? The impressive and moving debut crime novel from huge new talent Katy Massey opens up a world we have rarely seen, at a time of great danger and drama. 'A masterful debut crime novel... Clever and compelling' --- WOMAN & HOME 'I loved this. It takes a fresh and moving look at a series of crimes we all think we know well. The writing is terrific, conveying the fear and the grief of the women who lived through this with tender respect' --- EMMA FLINT 'A gripping and important story imbued with suspense, giving voice to the forgotten women in the gruesome shadows of the Yorkshire Ripper' --- DIANA EVANS 'A book about real women, vivid, complex and tender from a great new voice. You'll love it' --- KIT DE WAAL 'Loved it. A gem!' --- BERNARDINE EVARISTO on Are We Home Yet? 'Wonderful' --- LOUISE DOUGHTY on Are We Home Yet?
