About this audiobook

Unpack more secrets with Jess Ryder this summer in this new unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of The Villa and The Ex-Wife. Perfect for fans of TM Logan's The Holiday and Lucy Clarke's The Surf House.

When Luna returns to her late father’s farmhouse in the Tuscan hills, she’s hoping for closure.

The last thing she expects is for another family to turn up, claiming they’ve booked Luna’s family home for their holiday.

Reluctantly Luna allows the family full run of the house while she and her husband camp out nearby.

But as the heat rises, so does the tension.

Then the accidents start.
Small at first.
Soon impossible to ignore.

Everyone is hiding something... and someone will stop at nothing to claim what isn’t theirs.
