A twisty British crime thriller about a wedding invitation, a wealthy family's buried secrets, and a detective who refuses to look away.
When an invitation to a wedding arrives with two desperate words scrawled inside the envelope, HELP ME, Meg Castleton cannot ignore it, even though she barely knows the bride. The ceremony, held on a grand and secluded estate in England's Peak District, should be a welcome escape from Meg's own chaotic life. Instead it becomes the opening act of the most dangerous case she has ever faced. Beneath the marquees and champagne, one of Britain's wealthiest families is guarding secrets that stretch back generations, and someone is prepared to kill more than once to keep them buried. When Meg's husband is taken as a warning to back off, she realises there is no safe distance left between her and the people responsible.
The third instalment in the Darkness Finds Her series, packed with old money, older secrets, and a race against time. For readers of Lisa Jewell and Val McDermid who love their British crime soaked in family secrets and high stakes.
