About this event

For the past six months, a wave of vandalism has plagued Brighton seafront’s iconic beach huts. The spree takes a chilling turn when Sims Rumakah returns from a dreadful date to find her hut destroyed – and shockingly, the police have discovered a body inside.

The victim has been dead for two months. However, Sims hasn’t set foot in her hut for three months. Who is this person, and how could they have ended up in her locked beach hut?

As the police investigate, and nosy beach hut residents’ gossip about the mystery, Sims begins to suspect this isn’t random. Someone put that body in her hut for a reason. As she delves into the truth, she’s forced to confront not just the secrets buried in the tight-knit, toxic beach hutcommunity but also the ghosts of her own past.

Dorothy Koomson wrote her first novel when she was only 13 and has not stopped writing since. She started her career as a journalist and continued to write short stories and novels in her spare time before publishing her first book in 2003. She has since published several Sunday Times bestsellers and is known for her emotional, thought-provoking emotional thrillers.
