"An idyllic French chateau plays host to a thrilling revenge drama that sizzles with danger, debauchery and destructive secrets. "
Dora is about to marry to a man she knows can keep her happy and safe. But before she leaves her life as a sex worker behind, she agrees to one last job in the luxurious surroundings of a French chateau. Provocative behaviours and indulgent power games soon turn sinister and, when face to face with secrets from her past, Dora knows her chances of leaving the chateau alive are fading. Unsettling, uncomfortable, ingenious; this is twisty-turny drama right to the finish! The pace is fast, the action unpredictable and the first-person narrative sharp as a knife - female protagonists don’t get much better than Dora. She offers a raw and authentic insight into the inner workings of escort life, the threat of violence and degradation part and parcel of her industry. The startling injustices she has had to endure make you want to reach into the pages of the book and lift her to safety. One Last Secret is a brilliant piece of storytelling that explores the contrasts between the glamourous side of wealth and opposing struggles of poverty, as well as the roles played by women in a deeply male world. Adele Parks is a writer unafraid to venture into the darker corners of human life, with themes and characters that can disturb and shock as much as they can warm your heart. It’s why her books always draw you in – and why they’re impossible to put down once you start! Put her latest cracker of a novel at the top of your reading list this summer.
