Product Description
Humorous thriller. Back cover: Aline Alexandre does not relish the prospect of spending the August bank holiday weekend in a secluded spot in Cornwall doing team-building exercises with her glum investment-banking colleagues. What promises to be a dull weekend soon turns into a nightmare. A mystery illness, a narrowly avoided accident, anonymous threats and a gruesome find point to a cat among the pigeons. Could the disconcerting events be connected to a tragedy that took place many years ago on Moorland Manor, the run-down country residence belonging to Aline’s line manager, where the group is staying? Before she has a chance to unravel the mystery, she finds herself trapped in a dark room. Suddenly, she has become more dependent on her colleagues than she had ever thought possible in order to reach her most important goal: to get out alive… Off-site is a humorous thriller that keeps up the suspense throughout, until the surprise denouement. It also contains an element of satire on the dysfunctional aspects of corporate life. Set entirely in a picturesque coastal village in England, with all the action taking place over a single weekend, it is intended for readers who like to get thoroughly spooked, but who prefer happy endings.
