ReviewsPraise for Why We Die "Herron is a stylish writer with a mordant sensibility and a deadly wit. He's also a tricky plotter." --The New York Times "Dazzling . . .

How Herron is able to tie all these events together will test the sleuthing ability of even the most savvy readers as one surprise engenders another.

SynopsisFrom the author of Slow Horses and soon to be an Original Series from Apple TV+ starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. The road to hell is paved with all sorts of intentions, as Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm discovers when a straightforward jewelry store robbery turns out to be anything but. When Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the gang who knocked over Sweeney's jewelry shop, she's just hoping to break even in time for tax season. She certainly doesn't expect to wind up in a coffin. But she's about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who's dedicating what's left of his life to protecting the pretty, battered Katrina Blake from her late husband's sociopathic brothers, Arkle and Trent. Unfortunately for Zoë, Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has nothing left to lose, and even Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever., The road to hell is paved with all sorts of intentions, as Oxford private investigator Zo Boehm discovers when a straightforward jewelry store robbery turns out to be anything but.
