What to expect

PRAISE FOR G. D. WRIGHT

‘So compelling and tightly plotted I couldn't put it down’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS

‘Tense and emotional… A dark beating heart of a novel’ GILLIAN McALLISTER

‘One of the most tense and gripping thrillers I've read in ages’ LISA JEWELL

If the truth could destroy you, would you choose to know it?

DC Vinny Robson has spent his career seeking justice for others, but when an elderly couple are violently murdered in his hometown of Beachbrook, the investigation takes a devastating turn – one that cuts straight through his own family.

With the help of DS Sue Wilmott, Vinny discovers his ailing mother’s forgotten diaries, and with them the secrets she fought to keep hidden her entire life.

As Vinny dives deeper, the case becomes more than a pursuit of a killer – it’s a fight against the undertow of his own past. But in chasing the truth, will he finally find justice, or will he drown in the wreckage of everything he thought he knew?

Some truths should stay submerged. But once the tide turns, there’s no stopping what comes to light.

An emotional crime drama novel set on the south coast of England, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Gillian McAllister and Ann Cleeves.

‘Gut punch follows gut punch, all masterfully tied up in an ending I won’t forget for a long time to come. Another absolute triumph’ NAOMI WILLIAMS
