About this deal
At the same time, I was fascinated by all the secrets that are gradually revealed; no one in the family is exempt from deception. High achieving son Eli is the golden child – a talented soccer player, his parents are paying for him to attend a prestigious college so when he wants to leave they don’t understand. We collaborate with authors across all adult fiction genres, and also handle children’s books, young adult and cross-over fiction. At some point I realised that while following a different person each chapter, it was only one character that was in first person. Of course, I knew that a legendary ending was coming but like the other twists in the story, I couldn’t have predicted it.
The difference between the public, and the private face of a family is endlessly interesting to me, and I found this deep dive by Matthew Hill into just what has gone on to lead to the point of attempted murder fascinating. Dan is determined to clear his name and take revenge on Lisa’s killer, but the culprit is closing in.Teresa Driscoll is a former BBC TV news presenter whose psychological thrillers have sold more than two million copies across the world.
So their daughter gets shot and both Rachel and Ed are demanding answers from the police, all the while keeping things from the police that could actually help the case! She uses a neat technique of internal monologue for the five major characters - Ed (Dad), Rachel (Mom), Gemma, Matthew (the investigator) and the shooter whose thoughts are written in italic but whose identity is hidden.and all the attention paid to the private eye's family, which signified absolutely nothing in the grand plot. I liked the imagery, the secrets and the characters of the various storylines, particularly Matthew. Soon, the carnage ensued and the character’s lives were uprooted by the crazy wind that left nothing unturned in its wake. The family installs surveillance cameras but they show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies.
