AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE NEW PAPERBACK JACKET FOR WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE DIES


Ellie Faulkner's world has been destroyed. Her husband Greg died in a car crash - and he wasn't alone. In the passenger seat was the body of Milena Livingstone - a woman Ellie's never heard of.

But Ellie refuses to leap to the obvious conclusion, despite the whispers and suspicions of those around her. Maybe it's the grief, but Ellie has to find out who this woman was - and prove Greg wasn't having an affair.

And soon she is chillingly certain their deaths were no accident. Are Ellie's accusations of murder her way of avoiding the truth about her marriage? Or does an even more sinister discovery await her?

What to do When Someone Dies is out to buy in hardback now, and will be released in paperback in March 2010.
