The Death of Us is the third book to be released by one of our all time favourite authors, Abigail Dean. We were very lucky and honoured to be sent an ARC of this book last year, and if you follow us on Instagram you know we’ve been obsessed with it since then.
It’s the story everyone wants to hear.
That spring night in South London, when Isabel and Edward’s lives were torn apart.
The night Isabel learned that the worst things wait, just outside the door.
The night Edward learned that he was powerless to stop them.
The night they never talk about.
When their attacker is caught, it’s finally time to tell the story of that night.
Not to the world. Or to the man who did it. But to each other.
This is a story of murder. This is a story of survival. But most of all, this is a story of love.
Abigail Dean has done it again. In The Death of Us, she delivers a powerful, emotionally charged novel that lingers long after the final page. This isn’t just a crime story—it’s a raw, human portrait of two people trying to survive the unimaginable.
The novel centers on Isabel and Edward, whose lives were shattered one spring night in South London—a night they’ve spent years trying to forget. Abigail masterfully unfolds their story in fragments: what happened, what it did to them, and how silence became their way of coping. When the man responsible is finally caught, the real reckoning begins—not with the world, but with each other.
What makes The Death of Us so compelling is not just the crime at its core, but the emotional aftermath. She doesn’t sensationalize trauma—she explores it with empathy and nuance. The writing is sharp yet lyrical, and the characters feel achingly real. Isabel’s fear, Edward’s guilt, the weight of unspoken pain—it all pulses beneath the surface.
Despite its darkness (and the fact it will break your heart as you read it), this is ultimately a story about connection. About finding your voice again. About healing—not perfectly, but honestly. At its heart, The Death of Us is a love story: not romantic, but real love—the kind that survives in spite of everything.
If you loved Girl A, prepare yourself: The Death of Us is quieter, more intimate, but just as unforgettable.
