The brand new, read-in-one-sitting, packed-with-twists
mystery from bestselling Lisa Thompson.
Todd and Laurie's dad is either on top of the world, taking them
on fun adventures, or down in the depths and sleeping all the
time.
In the middle of the night, he bundles them into the car and drives
them to the Paradise Hotel. He paints a picture of a luxurious
mansion surrounded by acres of land - a fairground, a swanky
swimming pool, a grand ballroom, firework displays. The reality
is a rundown dump - and the disappointment means Dad takes to his
bed.
Todd and Laurie have the run of the place, and meet Scout, the
daughter of the owner, who tells them about the night many years
ago when a famous novelist vanished from her room on the top floor,
which was locked from the inside... with clues to crack, a mystery
to solve, and Dad to worry about, this holiday is full
of twists and turns.
