Synopsis
Perfect strangers. A perfect holiday. The perfect murder...Three couples meet around the pool on their Florida holiday and become fast friends. But on their last night, their perfect holiday takes a tragic twist: the teenage daughter of another holidaymaker goes missing, and her body is later found floating in the mangroves. When the shocked couples return home, they remain in contact, and over the course of three increasingly fraught dinner parties they come to know one another better. But they don't always like what they find: buried beneath these apparently normal exteriors are some dark secrets, hidden kinks, ugly vices...Then, a second girl goes missing. Could it be that one of these six has a secret far darker than anybody can imagine? A brilliantly plotted, utterly gripping thriller about the danger of making friends on holiday, Rush of Blood is Mark Billingham's most ambitious and accomplished work to date.

Review
Hugely effective and entertaining . . . many twists and shocks (The Times)
A chilling story that keeps you guessing to the last page (Daily Express)
British crime at its most readable (Courier Mail)
If you like out-of-left-field and implausibly unpredictable endings from a master crime and thriller writer, you won't be disappointed (West Australian)
There is something a little old-fashioned in this completely engaging and black-humoured book, and something a bit Agatha Christie about the depth of the characters and the plotting, which stays one step ahead of the reader (Sunday Territorian)
A gripping and original story (Weekend Bookworm)
Billingham delves nicely into the domestic dramas and frustrations of everyday people, and explores the psyches and motivations of his characters, while setting readers' minds racing as to whodunit (Good Reading)
Rush of Blood is typically gritty and unflinching, with Billingham's usual flair for plotting . . . a very satisfying crime read (Toowoomba Chronicle)
