When Rose sees Joe in an Oxford bar, for her it is instant infatuation. He is everything she could ever want: gifted musician, wit and high achiever. In her mind, at least, they are ideally matched and a burning desire for him takes hold. Fate, however, has other plans and Joe has no intention of settling down. All Rose will ever be to him is part of his student past. Instead he embarks on a dazzling career which takes him abroad for a number of years, leaving Rose alone with shattered dreams.

She knows what true happiness can be like. Her parents have always been very well married, and the late arrival of her kid sister, Lily, helped make the family complete. But when Joe returns and falls for Lily, unaware that Rose still has feelings for him, a dangerous rivalry ensues . . . one that can only lead to murder.

Reviews
A page-turning read * Telegraph *
If a pacy thriller is your thing, Unfinished Business will suit you to perfection. It's an intriguing, unsettling description of ordinary life whose impact stays with you * Sunday Express *
Skilfully sustains the suspense until the closing pages * The Times *
This is both a thriller - I was hooked by the very first page - and a gripping story about the power of female friendships * Marika Cobbold *
