How Not to Die Alone by Richard Roper is witty, and it’s fun. It’s worth sinking your teeth into. 

It plays with our innate fear of dying alone and without anyone noticing while also revealing just how often it does, in fact, happen. 

It’s funny, with that classic British humour that draws you into the characters and story. Taking dark topics while keeping them serious makes them that much easier to take in...
