A deadly secret lurks in an island's history, buried deep but not forgotten. And it is about to come to light. Lucy Hall arrives in the Seychelles determined to leave her worries behind. The tropical paradise looks sun-soaked and picture-perfect-but as Lucy soon discovers, appearances can be very deceptive. As black clouds begin to gather over what promised to be a relaxing family break, Lucy realises that her father stands in the eye of the coming storm. A shadow from his past is threatening to destroy all that he holds dear-including the lives of his loved ones. A dark truth is about to explode into their lives, and that truth is going to hit them right between the eyes.

Reviews
The Times/Sunday Times Crime Club pick "Russell evokes the exotic locale beautifully, but readers will be in the grip of the suspenseful story, too, even as they feel the island heat and smell the flowers." -Booklist "As usual, Russell delivers imaginative plots, perfectly paced." -The Times "[Leigh Russell] will have you coming back for more with her adrenaline pumping novels, full of adventure, anticipation, and excitement. Be sure to add Leigh to your mystery TBR list." -A Comfy Chair "I found myself engrossed in this tense thriller from Leigh Russell." -Shots "Lucy is an attractive and likeable protagonist...Journey to Death makes the subtle point that those who appear fragile and vulnerable often have unexpected resources of strength and resilience. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read." -Mystery People "Russell has delivered another cracking read...Lucy is a brilliant new character and I doubt very much you'll put this one down until you're done. I certainly couldn't." -Crimesquad
