Gripping thriller that will have you racing through, five stars A reunion of friends in remote Scotland turns into a terrifying ordeal in this twisting crime thriller by the author of The People Next Door. On his way to Scotland for a reunion with his university friends, Billy Maguire runs over a pedestrian. But this is only the start of his problems . . . Realising the man is alive, Billy puts him in the back seat of his car, planning to leave him outside the nearest hospital. But when the man dies, Billy panics and drives to the reunion with the body in the car, where he begs his friends for help. Tension swirls within the group at first, but when the dead man's ID reveals him to be a notorious criminal Dougie McCool, they decide to get rid of the body. The only problem is that some dangerous men are looking for McCool--including his brother, who is willing to brutally exploit the circle of friends to get what he wants. But will he succeed or can they get away with it? A rip roaring excitement filled read. --Book Mark Darkly funny and utterly terrifying. The best book I've read in a very long time. --NJ Moss Dark humour, tension and a well-crafted twisty plot. A masterclass in writing. --Patricia Dixon Darkly comic with Guy Ritchie vibes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. --Caron McKinlay A book you will want to read in one breath. Enthralling and totally consuming. --Dan's Books
Keri Beevis wrote her first novel at age twenty, but it was a further twenty years before she was published after winning a contract in the Rethink Press New Novels Competition 2012. Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre. Today she still lives in Norwich, along with her two naughty kitties, Ellie and Lola, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel), where she writes a comedic lifestyle column for a local magazine. She loves Hitchcock movies, exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes. She is also a self-confessed klutz. Keri joined the Bloodhound team in 2019 and her first release with them, the psychological thriller, Dying To Tell, which is set in her beautiful home county of Norfolk, has been her biggest success to date, with over 1200 four and five star ratings on Goodreads. She is now looking forward to the relaunch of her three earlier novels in 2020.
