DESCRIPTION:Bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe returns with her most
  engrossing mystery to date\, perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty and Sa
 lly Hepworth..\nhttps://grlc.libnet.info/event/15142958
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>A body on the beach. An inheritance. A
  family pulled apart.&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p>CC Cilento's best memories are o
 f spending every summer holiday running wild in and out of the Friend fami
 ly beach house with her cousins\, James\, Ollie\, Felix and Lily. It's the
  next best thing to having brothers and sisters. They've continued the sum
 mer tradition into adulthood\, getting together at the shack with its abso
 lute beach frontage.</p>\n<p>But now a bombshell has dropped: the four sib
 ling cousins have officially inherited the property - along with an unexpe
 cted fifth share to CC. What starts out as the perfect gift\, and a way of
  keeping the family connected forever\, quickly devolves into an emotional
  power struggle. Half of them want to keep the legacy intact\, while the o
 thers want to sell - and each side will do anything to make it happen. Soo
 n\, CC can't tell friend from foe.</p>\n<p>When a body is found on the sha
 ck's beach\, has this family dispute turned deadly?</p>\n<p><strong>About 
 the author:</strong></p>\n<p>Fiona Lowe has been a midwife\, a sexual heal
 th counsellor and a family support worker\; an ideal career for an author 
 who writes novels about family and relationships. She spent her early year
 s in Papua New Guinea where\, without television\, reading was the enterta
 inment and it set up a lifelong love of books.</p>\n<p>Authentically Austr
 alian\, her stories are often triggered by a secret or a mystery\, and the
 y explore the themes of family\, community and second chances. Described a
 s gripping\, thought-provoking\, heart-warming and ultimately uplifting\, 
 Lowe's books have been praised for their emotional depth. She is the recip
 ient of the prestigious USA RITA award and two Australian RuBY awards.</p>
