Don't Date Murderers

Lindsay Clift

JoJo Putty has one rule: Everyone is a Psychopath until proven innocent.


Raised to spot danger before it spots her, JoJo has turned a lifetime of hypervigilance into Don’t Date Murderers, a podcast investigating the red flags, bad dates and deeply suspicious behaviour everyone else seems determined to ignore.


With help from her listeners, her relentlessly dating mother, her court-mandated therapist and Phillip, the one man she might actually trust, JoJo sets out to keep people from falling in love with psychopaths, stalkers, liars and killers.


The problem?


JoJo is very good at spotting murderers. Just not the one closest to her.


A darkly funny scripted mystery about dating, danger, and what happens when trusting no one still isn’t enough.
