There is absolutely nothing like a heavy dose of the lurgy to get you tucked up in bed catching up on some reading. Luckily the latest book from Michael Robotham arrived just in time to join the pile (which I will catch up on mentioning asap).
Oh and there was Easter - I'm sure chocolate doesn't give you a lurgy though!
From the Blurb:

Ray Hegarty, a highly respected former detective, lies dead in his daughter Sienna's bedroom. She is found covered in his blood. Everything points to her guilt, but psychologist Joe O'Loughlin isn't convinced.
