The police are obsessed by the Abbott family. It's not surprising: Grandad Abbot disappeared some years ago, and now his son - well-known thug, Brian - has died, suddenly and violently. Newly widowed Jenny, and her son, Gary, are ‘in the frame' but, it's the other key witness, Tina Castleton, who, only hours after being assaulted by Brian, has to face the toughest test.
What is the truth behind the dramatic events and what connects it to unsuspecting Tina and Gary? Can these two innocents hold their nerve and, despite the secrets about to unfold, realise their dreams of fame and fortune?
Set in 1976, with all of the cultural norms of that politically unaware decade, Gorgeous and Adorable is a high-speed thriller that seems to turn its own pages.
