Sarah never expected to be blackmailed, especially not by someone so close.

She hadn't expected to be receiving criminal hush money either.

As a respectable Exeter University Professor's wife, neither were really the done thing, But super organised Sarah has it all under control.

Or so she thinks.

With its frenetic pacing and confounding plot twists, the gripping family drama, Sarah Needs Saving is a cosy domestic thriller, certain to entertain you as Sarah's life descends into chaos and surprise you with its final "hidden in plain sight" plot twist.

Set in rural north Devon, this family saga shines a light on "baby boomer" issues, the care of elder relatives, passing of wealth to the next generation, dementia, probate and inheritance following multiple marriages.

A rollercoaster ride, or a cautionary tale?

Abandoning her glamorous life in London's Knightsbridge for the breathtaking Algarve, desperate Emily seeks a new life of luxury, sun-drenched days and, most of all her financial freedom.

But, with family in tow, this isn't a simple relocation...

Tensions mount, boundaries are tested, shortcomings confronted and priorities re-evaluated as the Ellis's stumble into unexpected roles, discover hidden talents and try to reconcile the fact that their previous way of life has all but ended.

Can Emily prevent catastrophe as she navigates a new culture, language and work-life balance?

Will blood ties hold as nerves fray?

Embark on a voyage into family-infested waters in the
second novel from DCR Bond.
