‘Utterly brilliant . . . plotting as twisted as any crime reader would desire!’ ALEX GRAY
‘An unputdownable, edge-of-your-seat thriller’ LISA BALLANTYNE
FIVE OLD FRIENDS.
A weekend on the wild, beautiful Dorset coast. Seven adults, six kids. A nanny: the ultimate special treat.
It should be perfect: old friends, a stunning house, champagne and windswept beaches. But it isn’t.
Past grudges won’t rest. Secrets won’t stay put.
And by the end of the weekend, at least one of them will be dead.
Perfect for fans of THE HUNTING PARTY by Lucy Foley and ONE OF THE GIRLS by Lucy Clarke, this is a gripping locked-room thriller brimming with secrets and lies.

Compelling and compulsive. A perfectly crafted 'just one more chapter' read. I loved it!
Tensions lurk beneath the surface and dark secrets can't be contained in a tense thriller told through dual timelines and different viewpoints as the suspense builds
Utterly brilliant. Characters and setting drawn with meticulous care, and plotting as twisted as any crime reader would desire!
A fascinating cast of characters, and the ghosts of relationships past, combine to make this an unputdownable, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Highly recommended

Another triumph
Sucks you in like a deadly riptide on a dangerous British coast. Tense, mysterious and atmospheric with the perfect touch of creepiness to keep you turning pages late into the night, this is the intelligent thriller you've been craving
Deftly told . . . An accomplished debut and a fascinating study of the dangerous power of obsessive attraction
Will have you turning pages long into the night
An impressive debut . . . A brilliant murder story
