Product Information

This quote right here gives me the chills and really sets the tone of the story of the pear drum, a musical instrument that was often times the nightmare of Caro’s dreams. Your house should be a place where we feel most comfortable, but to someone who wants to pose a threat, there's no better way to get inside your life than to get inside your home.

The result lays bare a secret Luke's mum has kept hidden since he was born – his dad is not his biological father, and he is mixed race.It's more of an "Yeah, who else could it be' moment and then you promptly forget what happened earlier. It wasn't enough for me to add a star to a story that sounds like a mishmash of other books I've read before. Since her father passed away when she was a child she is told that the family estate is to be willed to her.

When Elizabeth, her cruel stepmom dies, Caro, a talented but struggling artist, moves into the family estate after her sister relinquishes her rights to it.For those readers, the coincidence may very well be one that rings true, but for those of us more pear drum naive, it was too much to believe—and I wanted it to be too much for Caroline as well. Manchester-based Luke’s extraordinary journey takes him back to Portugal with his mum’s holiday companion Yvonne, to see if she can remember which bar Carlos was working in 30 years previously.

Mean Girls - Intimate diaries reveal the strange goings-on of a friendship between Brandy Stevens-Rosine and Jade Olmstead, which goes wrong when a new girl moves in, and murder takes place. Recently separated from a boyfriend, she decides to take on the task of clearing out the house as she waits for the estate to clear probate, as it will give her a place to stay, and a fresh start. I really didn’t love this book, which was a shame as the storyline seemed like it would be really interesting. Steph and Craig are also rather one-dimensional and never emerge from the page, therefore making it difficult to invest in the novel as a whole. I loved Friend Request and thought if this was the runner-up, the book that won the contest must be as good.I was intrigued about the odd occurrences that were happening at the house Caro was staying at, and was looking forward to getting some answers. The images painted have their base in stories, and these stories prey on the mind till the canvas is a moving, colorful landscape. After the funeral, the estate needs to be settled and Caro needs a place to live so she goes to the house to sort through things. Although I love Adele's two previous historical fiction novels, it is good to have her back writing contemporary fiction - particularly when it is SO good.
