  Hope Lawrence seems to have everything that a young woman could want. The beloved daughter of wealthy parents, her childhood was spent on the idyllic shores of Massachusetts's East Coast. And now she is about to marry Jack Cabot, her handsome sweetheart.

  But life is rarely as simple or as carefree as it seems. The day of Hope's wedding will be remembered by everyone in Manchester-by-the-Sea, but not in the way that it should have been. When Father Whitney steps forward to address the glittering congregation in the church, his words could hardly be more unexpected and shocking. For Hope's body has been discovered in her bedroom - she has hung herself.

  In the following days, Hope's family struggles to come to terms with her suicide. But Frances Pratt, Hope's cousin and childhood friend, is less than convinced that Hope took her own life. So she begins to probe beneath the surface of her seemingly flawless world. Frances soon discovers that a host of demons haunted Hope's final days. And it seems that there is no shortage of people who might have wished her dead . . .

  'REDEMPTION is a brilliant tale of privilege and pain, betrayal and murder . . . Entertainment of the highest order with wildly engaging suspense and brilliantly drawn and realized characters. I loved it' LINDA FAIRSTEIN
