Product Information

This book is deeply layered, with all the connections and relationships that are going on.

I’m a big fan of author! Normally if any other authors created a slow burn murder mystery with a large of number characters, I would have a second thoughts to get into the story and I could stop reading to grab another book.

Clemmie. They do the Christmas Day swim. After, when she is feeling happy, Rhys confronts her and tells her she needs to pay the balance (400k!) on her lodge.
