Martin Amis, 1989

This was like a reverse mystery. The main character has a little bit of precongnition. She knows she will be murdered on her 35th birthday, but she doesn't know by whom. The whole novel is her manipulating men into wanting to kill her until someone finally does.


It's a strange and excessively British novel innit and I enjoyed it innit.
