James Dawson's New Book Info!

I completely forgot to talk about this! I saw it on Twitter when the news was released and got VERY excited. So, why I forgot to blog about it is ANYONE's guess! 

But now I remembered, James Dawson (the author of the brilliant Hollow Pike) has revealed the title and a tiny amount of information about his new novel, which should be out next summer (TOO FAR AWAY!). It's called... CRUEL SUMMER. 

And here is the info James revealed: 

A year after Janey’s suicide, her friends reunite at a remote Spanish villa, desperate to put the past behind them. However, an unwelcome guest arrives claiming to have evidence that Jane was murdered. When she is found floating in the pool, it becomes clear one of them is a killer. Only one thing is for certain, surviving this holiday is going to be murder…

Isn't it great? It sounds dark and twisted (I like dark and twisted reads) and a tiny part of me thinks it's Hollyoaks and And Then There Were None. 

But I want this book. I NEED to read this! So, dear UK publishers, are you SURE you want to publish it in August 2013? Could you just push it forward a few months...?
