"A lavish seventieth birthday party. A body found on a storm-lashed beach. And a secret that someone is dying to tell... Famed children's author Dame Eleanor Kingman has summoned her family and friends to her exquisite manor house on the cliffs. They're celebrating her birthday--and her latest number one bestseller in her series of books about a child detective. But the night before the party, Eleanor receives an email that threatens to expose the lie she's kept for over half a century. Someone knows her secret. Is it her estranged literary agent? Is it her ex-husband, to whom she no longer speaks? Is it the au pair, who always did have a knack for storytelling, that Eleanor fired all those years ago? Or is it one of her three daughters, all of whom have a stake in the publishing empire she had built? With a television crew arriving to film a documentary of her life, Eleanor needs to find out who sent the email--and preserve her legacy and multi-million-pound career. But when push comes to shove, and it's time to tell the truth, will anyone actually believe her?"-- Provided by publishe
