'Relentlessly page-turning' Philippa East
'Pure escapism' L D Smithson

Privilege has a price. But who will pay it

On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor as CEO of the lucrative global empire founded by their grandfather.

Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour.

As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve

A beautiful setting, flawed characters, sibling rivalry, secrets and lies - all the ingredients for a compulsive thrilling page turner, and How The Other Half Die doesn't disappoint -- Sarah Dunnakey, author of THE TWELVE MURDERS OF CHRISTMAS
