Description
Movie-making can be murder . . .
The project
Final Draft, a psychological horror, being filmed at a house deep in a forest, miles from anywhere in the wintry wilds of West Cork.
The lead
Former soap-star Adele Rafferty has stepped in to replace the original actress at the very last minute. She can't help but hope that this opportunity will be her big break - and she knows she was lucky to get it, after what happened the last time she was on a set.
The problem
Something isn't quite right about Final Draft. When the strange goings-on in the script start to happen on set too, Adele begins to fear that the real horror lies off the page...

Featured Reviews

Thank you for my copy of this book to review.
I have read all of Catherine Ryan Howard’s previous books and have loved every one of them.
This one did take me a while to grasp as it felt quite complicated to work out what was what at the beginning. But once I’d got my head around it I couldn’t put it down.
An unusual plot and very tense at times. I have already recommended this to friends.
