<\/a><\/span>I’ve read a couple of Wener’s books since she gave up being an indie pop star and became a writer instead.

\nClaire’s family have never been the same since her Dad died of a heart attack when she was a kid. Fast forward to the present day and her older brother, Daniel, has gone missing. Her own life in a mess after divorce and financial failure she finds herself following a tenuous series of clues in an attempt to find Daniel and solve the mystery at the heart of her dysfunctional family.
