About this event

We are delighted to welcome Mark Edwards to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of his gripping, unpredictable new thriller, One of the Family. Mark will be in conversation with K.L. Slater.

 

 

One of the family is dead.
One of the family is missing.
And one of the family might just be the killer...

Patrick couldn’t believe his luck when Holly fell for him. She’s wickedly funny, beautiful, and 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 everything feels a little off. Whispers in hallways. Rumours of a body that got found nearby the previous year. And something very strange about Charles’ new girlfriend.

Every family has secrets, and Patrick tells himself all he needs to do is survive the next few days.

But then the first body is found, and Patrick realises that all he needs to do is survive the next few days…

 

Mark will talk about his new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.
