Why a Booktrail?
2000s; Family secrets can be deadly…
What you need to know before your trail
Newly-weds Dan and Bea decide to escape London. Driving through France in their beaten-up car they anticipate a long lazy summer, worlds away from their ordinary lives.
But their idyll cannot last. Stopping off to see Bea’s brother at his crumbling hotel, the trio are joined unexpectedly by Bea’s ultra-wealthy parents. Dan has never understood Bea’s deep discomfort around them but living together in such close proximity he begins to sense something is very wrong.
Just as tensions reach breaking point, brutal tragedy strikes, exposing decades of secrets and silence that threaten to destroy them all.
Travel Guide
Travel from London to France but mind the snakes!
This is not the kind of trip to France you expect to take. There’s something not very nice for you when you get there. A visit to a crumbling hotel in rural France might sound nice but OMG remember the title of the book.
There are some really dark themes explored here such as pedophilia, incest and child abuse in general so it’s no holiday visit but a very dark character study on the most dysfunctional family ever.
A brutal tragedy.
