Story
Libby Hall never really wanted to be noticed. But after she saves the children in her care from a fire, she finds herself headline news. And horrified by the attention. It all reminds her of what happened nine years ago. The last time she saw her best friend alive. Which is why the house swap is such a godsend. Libby and her husband, Jamie, exchange their flat in Bath for a beautiful, secluded house in Cornwall. It's a chance to heal their marriage. But this stylish Cornish home isn't the getaway they'd hoped for.

Story
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

And when I’m accused of things I didn’t do, when my home is vandalized, I know she’s behind it. But she only lets her mask slip when no one is looking, so if I say anything, I’ll look crazy. So when the baby shower comes around, I’m sitting on a velvet sofa in a posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons. But that afternoon, I finally learn the unbelievable truth. There is no baby....

The six of us arrived on that beautiful Greek island dreaming of sun-drenched beaches and blood-orange sunsets, ready to lose ourselves in the wild freedom of a weekend away with friends. On the first night, we swam under a blanket of stars. On the second night, the games began on our clifftop terrace. On the third night, the idyll cracked, secrets and lies whispering on the breeze. And by the final night, there was a body on the rocks below.

Highly Recommend
Holding my head in shame while writing this, because I have to admit this is the first book that I have read by the author, and it sure as hell won’t be my last!
The author takes us on a creepy but also very eerie journey with this story when we meet Kirsty and her family who move from London to have a fresh start running a guesthouse what Kirsty doesn’t expect is for her first guest is someone that she hasn’t seen for 17 years….and that’s just the start.
I found myself tangled in a web of lies and secrets not knowing who to trust.
With an OMG opening I was well and truly hooked, This is one very intriguing story that will certainly keep you guessing until the end. Just when I thought I had it all worked out the author throws you off the path by throwing a twist that I didn’t see coming.
Although I found the story slower paced in parts compared to THAT opening, it never ruined my enjoyment of the story.
For some strange reason I thought this was going to be a your normal domestic noir…..How wrong was I! This is without a doubt a suspense mystery, dropping clues out throughout. While the reader is trying to piece together the puzzle. This is a proper Who-Dunn-It book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by the author, with this being a very addictive atmospheric read. Which I highly recommend.

Run of the mill
Ordinary murder in the spooky guesthouse novel.
Listenable, but no characterisation or feeling for the landscape in which the story is set. Passes a few dull hours without disturbing your equilibrium.

Load of Rubbish!!
I would avoid this book like the Plague! I have never listened to such a Crashingly boring book! The plot was all over the place! People we Ho haven't been spoken to for years are suddenly forgiven and tbh I guessed straight away what the antagonist was up to with the kid! It started off trying to be a ghost story and ended up something else entirely.
Totally useless and unbelievable and the way the Protagonist deals with her children.. Grrr. Absolutely awful!!
