********

One family. One night. Ten years of lies.

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.

Jo Spain interweaves the lives of her multiply flawed characters with great skill. The clever twists and cracking dialogue make it hard to put down

Jo Spain is at the vanguard of Ireland's flourishing crime writing scene, one that is being led by women

Spain keeps the pace cracking along and, more importantly, the intrigue high until the last

A cleverly constructed and thoroughly immersive thriller that seamlessly links past with present

Definitely one you won't want to miss this year

Filled with tension from the outset...Utterly brilliant

Agatha Christie at her best...makes for truly wicked fun with a salutary undertow of genuinely affecting sadness

An entertainingly toxic revenge tale

A rich, flawed family and murder aboard a yacht make this tale ideal screen fodder

A dazzling performance

A witty, insightful and an intriguing mystery...a cracking read

Told with style and great skill, this is classic stuff

A well-drawn story of love, empathy and friendship

all at a lovely pace

all at a lovely pace, thoroughly enjoyable. I always enjoy aoife as the narrator.
today I started rumble fish, the film...somehow it says I still need more words. to Satisfy the 15 word minimum

Really good but hated the animal abuse

*small spoiler*
I loved this book, but couldn’t get over the part where the dog was strangled. Not necessary and I HATED it. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Struggled through this one

I love Jo Spain books, and Aoife is my favorite female narrator (she did a wonderful job as usual), but I really struggled to get to the end of this one. The writing is still wonderful but the story was just really long and a bit boring (gosh I hate saying that)… If it’s free or discounted, you might enjoy it to pass time, but I’m annoyed I spent a credit on this one.

horrid

Not a murder mystery, more about a sickly disfunctional family that I couldn't care about. want my credit back

Skip it

This is my third Jo Spain book and every other one has been at the top of my list. I just really didn’t think that this plot was good. I didn’t think the character development was good. I didn’t think the narrator was good. Save your credit
