About this audiobook
EVERYONE KNOWS DANIEL.
BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS.
'A heady, potent cocktail of a novel. I downed it in one' ERIN KELLY
Daniel is missing. No one has seen or heard from him in weeks. Beside herself with worry, his sister Caroline hosts an intimate gathering in her London home to grill those who knew Daniel best. But there's a stranger at the table - an accomplished psychic who claims to have met Daniel in New Orleans. As doubt blooms, tempers fray, and secrets spill like cocktails in the rowdy French Quarter.
How well do we really know the people we love, and what are they capable of doing?
Readers are LOVING Let The Bad Times Roll!
'This was, quite simply, deliciously and perfectly evil'
'So good I read it twice'
'It's sharp, lush, and perfect for a summer binge'
'Another incredibly gripping novel that I devoured in under 24 hours'
