What to expect

A completely addictive psychological thriller from top 50 bestseller T.J. Emerson

Perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke and T.M. Logan

Olivia and Julian are enjoying lazy days in their Spanish villa, a well deserved break from their busy lives. Especially for Julian, who after a lifetime as a carer was thrust into the public eye following the tragic murder of his first wife.

The languid heat and peace of the villa is broken only by clifftop walks, sun drenched lunches and cooling swims. Until a chance encounter with Gabriel - an attractive man, many years their junior - changes everything.

Soon their idyllic break turns into a dangerous, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. Will any of them get out alive?

'Tense, daring and totally addictive' Emma Christie

'An immersive, multi-layered story that provokes and excites' T.L. Huchu

'An unputdownable journey into the human condition asking the reader at every turn - how good are we really? How good are you?' Louise Dean

'A gripping, atmospheric and addictive read' Lesley Glaister

'Original, surprising and absolutely brimming with menace' Amanda Block

'This taut, elegant thriller thrums with dark menace and dread. I couldn’t look away' Kate Riordan, bestselling author of The Heatwave

This book doesnt start of as if its going to be a murder mystery,. More like romance, however the further you get into the story, things change.. the final outcome, is a complete twist in the tail, and not what you think was going to happen. Overall a good book . And worth listening to
