Si and Danny are best friends, teenage sons of single mothers in North London. Si just wants to listen to music and smoke a little dope with the hippy crowd on Primrose Hill. Danny wants Si to help him kill his junky mother's violent boyfriend. Murder isn't Si's scene - until the beautiful Eleanor arrives, obsessed with sex and eager for the kill. 'I simply couldn't put the book down. Falconer shows as superb a command of structure and pacing as she does of character. Intense, intelligent and highly readable, Primrose Hill is a book of which any experienced novelist could be proud. As Falconer's debut it's stunning. My hat is off.' Guardian… (meer)

A quite superb story of the way a teenager's hippie summer turns to a nightmare when he gets involved in his best mate's plot to bump off his stepfather. Totally believable, it visits some very dark places, as well as having excellent moments of humour (the little kid being dumped in the hedge early on, for example). There is a scene towards the end, where the narrator confronts his girlfriend's abusive family, which was so well written I wanted to applaud. Really really hope to see more from this author. (
