I am happy to be part of the blog tour for The Beach House, the latest novel from P.R. Black. 

This vacation is about to turn deadly…

Cora’s on the island vacation of her dreams: a private beach in paradise, a romantic proposal, and an eight-figure cheque following the sale of her new fiancé’s business.

When their island turns out to be not so private after all, Cora tries to make the best of a bad situation by inviting their strangely friendly neighbours to celebrate with them.

‘How about a tyrannosaur? We could afford one of those. We’ll need a really big doghouse. Come to think of it, we’ll need a big house of our own. You always wanted a swimming pool, right?’

He nodded and bit his lip. ‘Are you pleased? Tell me you’re pleased.’

She paused. ‘We have to do something good with it.’
