From the international number one bestseller comes the most clever and gripping thriller of 2019
It's June 2008 and twenty-one-year-old Adam Lattimer vanishes, presumed dead. The strain of his disappearance breaks his already fragile family.
Ten years later, with his mother deceased and siblings scattered across the globe, Adam turns up unannounced at the family home. His siblings return reluctantly to Spanish Cove, but Adam's reappearance poses more questions than answers. The past is a tangled web of deceit.
And, as tension builds, it's apparent somebody has planned murderous revenge for the events of ten years ago.

Incredibly unpredictable but utterly addictive, Jo Spain has done it again with another fantabulous book.
Nine people get on a boat, only eight get off it alive. And murder is suspected, but is it the best friend, the fiancee, or one of the six children that have murdered the father.
Well as the story progresses and we see more of what happened in the week leading up to the boat trip, as well as key events from the past 10 years, well I changed my mind a bazillion times.
Frankly Frazer, the now deceased was not a particularly pleasant man or father, and as facts emerged I would have happily killed him myself.
The siblings all so different, have a very fractured relationship with each other. Not surprising really given 10 years ago, Adam disappeared, only to re-appear in their lives at the start of this book.
And Clio lives in America, Ryan in Italy, while Ellen is determined to play the spinster of the family (with good reason), while James the eldest is allegedly the most successful, and Kate seems ashamed of her family which causes rifts with her other half.
As the story progresses, what is clear is there are many layers to unravel, secrets to discover and I was hooked on finding out more at every given turn.
A wonderfully twisted story, that will have you scratching your head as to just who killed Frazer.
Thank you to Quecus on Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
