It’s such a pleasure and privilege to read and review the latest fiction for My Weekly online and I’m delighted today to share details of my review of Give Him To Me by Dorothy Koomson.
My huge thanks to Emma and Katey at EDPR for originally sending me a copy of Give Him To Me. I previously reviewed Dorothy’s Every Smile You Fake for My Weekly and you’ll find details of that review here or can head to the My Weekly site for my full thoughts.
My apologies that it has taken longer than hoped for the review to appear, but there has been some restructuring at My Weekly that has delayed things.
Published by Headline on 13th February 2025, Give Him To Me is available for purchase through the publisher links here.
Give Him To Me
Robyn ‘Avril’ Managa was twelve when she witnessed her controlling and abusive father murder her mother. Put into care while her well-connected father was given a new identity in Witness Protection, Robyn has lived with the trauma of that day ever since.
Now in her twenties, Robyn has decided she wants a family reunion – so is killing people connected to her father’s case, leaving on their bodies the note: GIVE HIM TO ME.
Dr Kez Lanyon is called onto the case. But can Kez get into Robyn’s mind before she kills again? Or is she about to become Avril’s latest victim?
Profiler and therapist Kez Lanyon returns in a gripping new stand-alone novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Dorothy Koomson.

However, here I can say that Give Him To Me is utterly gripping with a true insight into the human psyche that has the reader gasping aloud. It’s a total belter!
