AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Krissie Donald has no desire to 'settle down'. Committed men are hers for the taking, but she prefers explosive liaisons to any sort of full-blown relationship. Krissie's best friend, Sarah, couldn't be more different. Married to a good-catch-doctor in her early twenties, it isn't long before Sarah's dying to start a family.

'Krissie and Sarah's relationship starts to go awry when Krissie becomes pregnant after a holiday dalliance in Tenerife. For Sarah, who's been trying to conceive for what seems like forever, Krissie's pregnancy can't help but seem a little unfair.

'Things between Krissie and Sarah go from bad to worse during a holiday in the Scottish Highlands with Sarah's husband, Kyle. What starts out as an enjoyable and much-needed break soon becomes a nightmarish combination of sexual tension, murder and mayhem. Fast-paced and brilliantly told, with wickedly observed characters and a spectacular denouement, Dead Lovely is a compulsive read from start to finish.'  (Publisher's blurb)
