Sweetpea Series is a five-book collection by C. J. Skuse, following Rhiannon Lewis, a woman who appears ordinary on the surface while hiding a violent secret. Across the set, she balances relationships, work and family life with the consequences of her actions, as her attempts to keep control repeatedly collide with unexpected complications.
Beginning with her life as an editorial assistant and moving through shifting identities, travel and major changes in her personal circumstances, the series traces Rhiannon’s efforts to maintain a lower profile while the past continues to catch up with her. The collection brings together the full sequence: Sweetpea, In Bloom, Dead Head, Thorn in my Side and The Bad Seeds.
Rhiannon seems like the girl next door, living with her boyfriend and a small dog, but she has a secret. By day she works as an editorial assistant and finds the job demeaning and unfulfilling. In the background of everyday conversations about marriage and babies, she keeps a list of her own.
Rhiannon believes she should be content: her unfaithful fiancé is in prison, framed for the killings she carried out, and her ex-lover is hidden where he will not be found. One problem remains. She is pregnant.
Now notorious as the Sweetpea killer, Rhiannon is out of sorts despite fleeing the UK on a cruise ship to begin again. Trapped on board with the Gammonati and screaming children, she finds it difficult to start over. The situation also brings back thoughts of Ivy, the baby she gave up in order to continue killing.
Rhiannon thinks she finally has everything, keeping a much lower profile during the pandemic. She has found happiness with her fiancé, Rafael, and his family. For once, she is surrounded by people who love her for who she is, or who they believe she is.
Rhiannon is coming home. Newly married and supported by a loving family, her life appears settled, until her husband is shot. At the same time, the daughter she left behind in the UK becomes desperately ill.
