Fortunately (or otherwise) some people are quickly on the scene to explain that missing money – it's been turned into a gambling debt that has also now been inherited by Henri, and the activities of these guys are not conducive to getting a cheap life insurance plan...|isbn=191319387X}} =='''1 NOVEMBER'''=={{Frontpage|author=Teresa Driscoll|title=Her Perfect Family|rating=5|genre=Thrillers|summary=The novel begins by introducing you to Gemma, who at first instance appears to be your average student, faced with the familiar horrifying realisation, at the eleventh hour, that her graduation outfit is all wrong.
