What to expect

He believes I can do no wrong.
Sadly, he's mistaken.

'Irresistibly twisty, demands to be binge-read ... kept me hooked until the final, jaw-dropping pages' D. S. Butler

'Relentless pacing and unexpected twists makes this a must-read.' John Marrs

'Missing Vera? Here is her successor: DS Stephanie King.' Daily Mail

'A modern day Agatha Christie' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader review

Celia, Juliette and Nadia are complete strangers with one thing in common: they have all been wronged by Ellis Cobain. A wealthy philanthropist on course for a knighthood, Ellis' public persona is bulletproof - but lurking beneath this veneer is a sinister side that only the women closest to him have seen.

When they meet at a boutique hotel on the Cornish coast, brought together by the blind arrogance of their tormentor, they realise what connects them and form a pact to free themselves from his grasp.

But when a body is discovered they are left scrambling, desperate to cover their tracks. This was never part of the plan.

Will they keep each other's secrets, or will they turn on each other, not knowing if one of them could be next?

This is crime writing at its absolute best.

Lynne Patrick, Promoting Crime Fiction

A real tour de force, with a brilliant, often terrifying plot. The characters live and breathe, and the Cornish setting is beautifully evoked. Yet more proof that Rachel Abbott truly is the queen of crime writing.
