A TESS MONAGHAN MYSTERY
No one is quite who they seem.
Melisandre - rich, beautiful, possibly insane - is haunted by the deadly family tragedy a decade earlier. Her husband and teenage daughters have moved on, and are seemingly happy. When she returns from South Africa to Baltimore, there are suddenly more mysterious deaths. The mysteries of Melisandres devastating past are unearthed: what role did her family really play? Is anyone telling the truth?
PI Tess Monaghan gets ensnared in the story of this wealthy, complex family. Now the mother of a young girl herself, Tess makes a return as an investigator to solve the case.
A hugely powerful and emotive novel about children and destructive, overbearing parents, Hush Hushis a superbly plotted mystery that will keep you hooked until the final page.

Readers wont be able to resist Tess, who, like one of Baltimores famous crabs, sports a tough shell that hides a sweet centre. BOOKLIST
