all the elements of a winner: real-life situations, next-door

Neel Mullick has written a very good debut novel full of twists and
turns you don’t see coming. The ending is truly shocking. Once you start
you won’t want to put the book down it’s that good!”—Red Carpet Crash

the ending sparks like a Roman candle.”—Champagne Living

ABOUT DARK BLOSSOM:
Sam
returns home from a business trip a day before his son's thirteenth
birthday and is looking forward to being with his family, when his world
is cruelly shattered in one fell swoop.
Initially he thinks he can cope with the loss, but finally seeks the help of Cynthia, an experienced therapist, to regain his equipoise. What he does not know is that Cynthia herself is trying to cope with a debilitating divorce and the sinister shadow of her ex-husband over her daughter...
What happens when doctor and patient find themselves in the same sinking boat? Moreover, when they are rowing in opposite directions--one clinging to the past, and the other unable to get rid of it! In the midst of it all is Lily, Cynthia's daughter, who harbors a secret that has the power to explode the lives around her.
Taut with tension and intensity, Dark Blossom is a glimpse of what lies under the surface of apparently 'normal' people.
