How to Slay at Work

Millie has always suspected her boss Freya is a nightmare to work for — impossible demands, cryptic instructions, and a soul-crushing dress code among them. But when Millie notices that unexplained deaths keep turning up in the cities Freya visits for work, "impossible boss" starts to look like something far more sinister.

Told from shifting points of view, How to Slay at Work follows Millie as she digs into Freya's travel history and uncovers a pattern of men connected only by their proximity to her boss. As the body count and the plot twists pile up, Millie has to decide how far she's willing to look away — and whether a boss capable of murder might, in its own twisted way, be useful to have around.

Sarah Bonner's How to Slay at Work (Boldwood Books, 2024), the first book in the "How to Slay" series, is a darkly comic, fast-paced psychological thriller about ambition, revenge and the horrors of modern office life, for fans of Killing Eve and Bella Mackie.
