Six wicked reasons - Jo Spain

FROM THE INTERNATIONAL NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR COMES ANOTHER GRIPPING THRILLER WITH A KILLER TWIST

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.
