A reality TV star becomes a suspect in an Essex murder case in the sharp, funny and moving new thriller from M.K. Hill Three years ago, Danny 'Abs' Cruikshank, star of reality show Laid in Essex!, was living the dream. But on the night of the party, everything changed. It was supposed to be an intimate weekend gathering, just a few close friends in a remote cottage in Wales. But after a night of heavy drinking in the village pub, a local girl was reported missing – and never seen again. Abs and his friends had been the last to see her alive. No-one was ever charged, but the controversy destroyed Abs's career. And now one of his mates has been murdered...
