The Last Confessional

By Dionne Knowles

At the reunion of hit reality series Cove Wives, cast-welfare producer Nina Bell expects tantrums, threats and a seating-plan war. She does not expect Cassandra Vale - the cast member everyone fears - to collapse after promising a final confession that could ruin careers.

A storm seals the cast and crew inside their glamorous Rhode Island resort. The cameras have stopped, but nobody stops performing. Cassandra's phone vanishes. A memory card containing her last words is missing. And the innocent-looking wellness bottle beside her chair may not be innocent at all.

While Detective Evelyn Cho follows the evidence, Nina works the spaces the cameras never see: service corridors, production logs and carefully managed loyalties. Every suspect has a motive. Several have edited their alibis. Someone knows exactly how to turn a death into a better story.

To expose the killer, Nina must reconstruct the one scene nobody meant to film - before the final cut buries the truth for good.

Sharp, glamorous and satisfyingly twisty, Murder Takes the Centre Seat is a fair-play mystery about image, ambition and everything reality television leaves on the cutting-room floor.
