One of the Family
Author(s): Mark Edwards
Format: Paperback
One of the family is dead.
One of the family is missing.
And one of the family might just be the killer...
The outstanding new psychological thriller from the 5 million copy-bestselling author of Here to Stay and The Magpies
Patrick couldn't believe his luck when Holly fell for him. She's wickedly funny, beautiful - albeit with an intimidatingly successful father, Charles.
So when she invites him to Charles' mansion for a New Year's break in Scotland, all he's hoping is that they'll accept him as one of the family.
But from the start nothing feels right. Whispers in hallways. Reports of a body that was found nearby the previous year. And something very strange about Charles' new girlfriend.
Patrick tells himself that every family has its secrets, and all he needs to do is make it through the holiday.
But then one of the family is killed. One of the family goes missing. And Patrick realises that one of the family might just be a killer...
