Kiss of Death was published in June 2007 by Barrington Stoke, the specialists in books for reluctant readers.
When you lose someone close to you, they do not go away - not all at once. They can still take you by surprise. You find one of their hairs on the collar of a coat. In a used plastic bag you see a shopping list in their writing. You flip open your phone, and there are all the messages they sent you, about ordinary, everyday things - and you just can't bear to delete them.
That's normal. It happens to everyone. But I wonder: what happens when the person you have lost wants you to follow them?
That's where Kiss of Death comes in�

Fly back to Children's Books
This is a scary story, which invites readers to decide whether Nick is so devastated by the loss of Kate that he imagines things (with disastrous results), or genuinely haunted by a malevolent spirit...
Excellent chilling reading, in Barrington Stoke's usual chunky print, liberally interpersed with helpful illustration. (Writeaway)
