Seven Ways to Start a Fire - Rachel Mahood

Nell Davenport has it all – a loving husband and teenage son, a big house on the edge of the moor, and a career as best-selling author.

But everything is not as it seems.

An old friend arrives unexpectedly on the doorstep.
A few weeks later, Nell goes missing.

Stories appear in the local paper, supposedly written by Nell.
Each one designed to teach someone from Nell’s past a lesson they will never forget.
Who is writing these stories?
Where is Nell Davenport?
Will the mystery of her disappearance be solved before the stories wreak further devastation?

Everyone is a suspect.
Everyone has their secrets.
Everyone is afraid they will be next.

Nell is not a likeable, cuddly person, but as the story progresses, we learn why she is the way she is. I kind of guessed part of the end. Mahood has wrought a tale with many twists and turns. I enjoyed it!
