‘They’re all related to each other around these parts….It’s what makes them the way they are,’ says Joe, a private investigator and lawyer Jay Wells’ father figure, in I Have Something to Tell You. The retired detective is an outsider from South Gloucestershire’s moneyed class, so he sees more of the game. At the core of this beautifully crafted novel is an intricate network of wealthy families and friends. Their charming habitat is impervious to the wickedness of the outside world – until it isn’t.
