Do Not Disturb

The chilling novel by the author of THE COUPLE AT NO 9




Claire's last two thrillers have been instant Sunday Times bestsellers. This will be the third

Kirsty's family have escaped London for the beautiful, remote Welsh mountains, leaving their dark past behind. Opening their guesthouse marks the start of the type of idyllic life some people would kill for.

But their first guest isn't one they expected. Kirsty hasn't spoken to her cousin since a lie tore their family apart seventeen years ago. Why has Selena chosen now to force her way back into their still-fragile lives?

Living with strangers under her roof, Kirsty soon realizes she doesn't know her own family as well as she thought.

Kirsty also knows she's going to regret allowing Selena into their home to stir up old secrets.

She just doesn't know it will end in murder.
