Synopsis

Action set in Maggie Miller's converted windmill home. Time - the present. A group of people have been invited down for the weekend to the country home of Maggie Miller to celebrate her birthday, but when they arrive she's not there. Naturally enough the phone's been cut off.
Maggie has been a voracious predator with a penchant for other people's partners so everyone has a motive for foul play. Before finding out who-dun-what we have to wade through a lot of self-cancelling clues, a body or two, and some very scary moments. All the while we and the plotĀ are helped along by Clemens' sharp and characteristic dialogue.
Shock! is the most suspenseful and unpredictable of thrillers, literally right up to the closing few seconds you're kept guessing.
