'Unputdownable' MICK HERRON

'JP Delaney is King of Thrillers' FIONA CUMMINS

When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca.

Ownership of his beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the mountains now passes to Finn and his sister. The only problem is that Jimmy recently remarried and his new wife, Ruensa, is still living there.

The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa and her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death . . .

Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves

Reviews

I loved it. JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story ... One twist in particular left me open-mouthed. Brilliant stuff. This'll be in a lot of holiday luggage come the summer * Mick Herron *
Charming and engrossing from the outset, but with a creeping and deeply unsettling sense of menace. I loved the Du Maurier vibes * Sharon Bolton *
Thrilling from beginning to end - I couldn't turn the pages fast enough * Claire Douglas on MY DARLING DAUGHTER *
Dazzling * Lee Child on THE GIRL BEFORE *
A twisty, electrifying read * Woman's Own on MY DARLING DAUGHTER *
Slick, sexy, suspenseful and smart * Mail on Sunday on THE GIRL BEFORE *
Excellent . . . Domestic noir in all its darkest shades * Cara Hunter on MY DARLING DAUGHTER *
Deeply addictive * Daily Express on THE GIRL BEFORE *
