Chelsea needs to be in control and is lonely. Meg is a wimp who wants to belong. Nick and Dan cause the trouble by being helpful. Keeping up? And all this happens to take place in a beautiful beach house over the New Year break. Praise for The Annual "The Annual, a good little page turning thriller...
