A Thriller by MARTIN STERLING
| |
When
Judy meets Sam on an internet dating service, she believes she has
met the perfect man for her. It’s taken her a long time to trust
any man again after being so badly betrayed by her husband Nick,
an international drugs dealer. Sam appears to be everything Judy
wants and needs.
The
happy twosome decide to go away for a holiday. For how long? Well,
say for just a weekend. Where? There’s
this cottage in Norfolk. Isn’t it a bit isolated? Yes, but how romantic.
Ideal for just the two of us. Ideal, yes. Until slowly Judy begins
to realize that perhaps Sam is not the man she thought he was.
Framed!
is a psychological murder mystery full of enough twists and turns
to keep us on the very edge of our seats. A
genuine thriller with traditional frightening ingredients such as
a remote cottage, wind-swept vistas, thunderstorms, threatening
silhouettes at the windows, bodies buried in the garden … but ending
with a real, modern contemporary twist.
“Faultless” – The Stage
“10
out of 10” – BBC
“This
very fast-moving thriller is a successful, uncanny and spicy cocktail
of intrigue, humour and topical issues” – EDP
DON’T
MISS THIS CHILLER-THRILLER!
