Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.53
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

It all begins innocently enough, with Gretchen, a new bride, accompanying her husband Chuck to the reading of his estranged father's will. But soon what started out as an unpleasant duty turns into a journey of terror, and Gretchen must answer a series of questions that hold the keys to life or death: How well does she really know the man she has married? How much can she trust him? How far should she go to protect him? The local gossips are quick to fill in some of the gaps, relating tales of Chuck's wild youth, his confinement to a mental institution, the ill-gotten money supposedly hidden by his father in the family home - and the mysterious death that drove Chuck from the island so many years ago. Soothed after each revelation by Chuck's easy explanations, Gretchen continues to assure him of her love and loyalty. But then one final crime is revealed, propelling Gretchen and her daughter on a terrifying flight for their lives.
