A gripping, chilling and addictive thriller I found hard to put down.' - NetGalley Reviewer, A DARK FAMILY SECRET When Alice's father dies after a tragic hit and run, his death stirs up unanswered questions about her childhood. Who was her mother, why did her father never speak of the past, and why can't she remember anything before the age of seven? AN ISLAND CUT OFF But when she receives an anonymous letter containing a photograph of a refurbished gothic guesthouse surrounded by water, and an invitation to stay, old memories fight to resurface. Alice has visited before. She is certain of it. WHO WILL SURVIVE? Convinced the clues to her past lie at the hotel, she checks in. But once on the island, a wild storm rages, waves crash violently into the rocks, and the house is cut off by the roaring sea. Then two guests are found dead. And the hotel owner is missing.
