Fallen Angel by Chris Brookmyre
ONE FAMILY, TWO HOLIDAYS, ONE DEVASTATING SECRET n nTo new nanny Amanda, the Temple family seem to have it all: the former actress; the famous professor; their three successful grown-up children. But like any family, beneath the smiles and hugs there lurks far darker emotions. n nSixteen years earlier, little Niamh Temple died while they were on holiday in Portugal. Now, as Amanda joins the family for a reunion at their seaside villa, she begins to suspect one of them might be hiding something terrible... n nAnd suspicion is a dangerous thing. n nFrom Chris Brookmyre, winner of the Theakstons and McIllvanney awards for Black Widow, comes a standalone psychological thriller full of twists, lies and betrayal. n nPRAISE FOR CHRIS BROOKMYRE n n'Guaranteed to keep you guessing' n nIan Rankin n n'Extremely sophisticated crime' n nSunday Times n n'Exceptionally good' n nGuardian n n'In the pantheon of great crime writers' n nElly Griffiths n n'Scales new heights of invention' n nTimes Literary Supplement n n'Brookmyre writes beautifully . . .
