Chris Brookmyre: One Island, Seven Secrets
How much can really go wrong at a hen party? Bride-to-be Jen is about to find out. A private island provides a getaway for the celebrations, but it quickly becomes the backdrop to chaos, a disappearance and an anonymous blackmailer demanding that one of the hens reveals her most terrible secret – or lose their missing friend for good. Join us in welcoming Glasgow’s own Chris Brookmyre to celebrate his brand new novel, The Cliff House.
