They say the camera never lies. But on this show, you can't trust anything you see.
Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for.
Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won't just be eliminated - they'll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they'd ever imagined, and they're trapped.
The disappearance of a contestant wasn't supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she's watched on screen, and find out who these people really are - knowing she can't trust any of them.
And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.

Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the
person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely,
unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly
never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're
grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to
support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will
get easier. When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her
five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them
wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should
be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that
there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets
to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time
and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the
book she needed then. With 18 short assurances that are full of
compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and
her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely
concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking
for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor,
and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you:
I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This.

From No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Clare Mackintosh, A Cotswold
Family Life is a warm, humorous memoir of family life in the
countryside 'Insightful, funny, absorbing' Prue Leith 'Original yet
totally recognisable' Katie Fforde 'Sheer bliss!' Jill Mansell
'Heartfelt and poignant' Sunday Express I have always loved the
Cotswolds. I think I loved them even before I found them, in that
half-formed ideal one has of where to put down roots. Somewhere
peaceful, green, where the road meanders between drystone walls and
from town to town, and a strip of blue bursts from brook to river
and back again. For eight years, Clare Mackintosh wrote for
Cotswold Life about the ups and downs of life with a young family
in the countryside. In this memoir, she brings together all of
those stories - and more - for the first time. From keeping
chickens to getting the WI drunk, longing for an Aga to dealing
with nits, Clare opens the door to family life with warmth and
humour and heart.
