Perfect for a gripping weekend read, this thriller novel by Catherine Steadman will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story follows Harriet Reed as she uncovers a dark family secret. Imported from the UK, this British-published paperback is a must-read for crime fiction fans.
Harriet Reed is newly engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir to an extremely powerful American family. When Edward's father hands her a tape of a book he's been working on, she is desperate to listen. But as she presses play, it's clear that this isn't a novel. It's a confession to murder. Feeling isolated and confused, Harriet must work out if this is all part of a plan to test her loyalty. Or something far darker. Because this might be a game to the Holbeck family - but games can still be deadly.
