SOME THINGS RUN IN THE BLOOD
A darkly twisted debut thriller for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll. At an annual retreat for the adult children of serial killers, paranoia turns deadly when one of the guests is murdered.
Nicola Fischer’s father has just been convicted of killing five women - including her best friend. Shunned by her town and obsessed with the true-crime host who exposed him, Nicola jumps at the chance to join the Death Row Club: a secretive weekend getaway for people exactly like her.
But when an unexpected guest arrives at their remote wilderness retreat, tensions flare. By morning, one of them is dead.
And everyone is asking the same question:
If the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree which one of them is a killer?
‘Compelling, provocative, and absorbing’ KARIN SLAUGHTER
