Publisher's summary

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?

Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan's The Catch and The Couple at No. 9 by Claire Douglas.

Critic reviews

"This taut, elegant thriller thrums with dark menace and dread. I couldn’t look away." (Kate Riordan, best-selling author of The Heatwave)

Suprisingly good

I was expecting this book to be terrible based on reviews but was pleasantly surprised. I don't think I have ever read a book about caregivers. I loved the ending. The narration was good and did not distract from the storyline.

The Imperfect Holiday

This book is rubbish. The synopsis doesn't accurately reflect the story. It should be in the LGBT category. It is one awkward male on male romp after another, with gross and unflattering descriptions of middle aged female body parts mixed in here and there. This is not a psychological thriller or suspenseful, it is just gross and boring. The "secrets" are revealed early on, so the listener is just waiting for things to play out. The best thing about the book is that it ended.
