Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Perfect strangers. A perfect vacation. The perfect murder. . . . “Hugely effective and entertaining [with] many twists and shocks” (TheTimes, London).
Three British couples meet around the pool on their Florida holiday and become fast friends. But on Easter Sunday, the last day of their vacation, tragedy strikes: The fourteen-year-old daughter of an American vacationer goes missing, and her body is later found floating in the mangroves.
When the shocked couples return home to the United Kingdom, they remain in contact, and over the course of three increasingly fraught dinner parties they come to know one another better. But they don’t always like what they find. Buried beneath these apparently normal exteriors are some unusual kinks and unpleasant vices. Then, a second girl goes missing, in Kent—not far from where the couples live. Could it be that one of these six has a secret far darker than anybody can imagine?
Ambitiously plotted and laced with dark humor, Rush of Blood is a “sizzling thriller” by the international bestselling author of the Tom Thorne Novels (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).

“I disliked this book and it was such a slog to get through. It was slooooow. I didn't like a single character, and once you've figured out the twist it was pretty boring. Overall - disappointing!”Reviewed in:Kiss or Kill

“This book was quite slow to begin but sped up at the end. Although I enjoyed the premise, the characters were all deeply unlikeable and I thought the various hints sprinkled through made the ending quite predictable. Overall a decent read but I wouldn't rush to recommend.”Reviewed in:Kiss or Kill
