Plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing in the first of a new detective series by Elena Forbes.

Elena Forbes has lived most of her life in London. After reading Modern Languages at Bristol University she worked as a portfolio manager for international investment banks. She now writes full time. The first chapter and synopsis of Die With Me was shortlisted for a debut dagger in 2005.
