The Retreat

 

Publication date 13th October 2023

About the book
Relaxation. Recovery. Revenge…

The sunlight sparkles on the bright turquoise of the pool, next to the freshly painted house with its trailing pink flowers and terracotta roof. I feel a jolt of pride. My partner 
José and I have dreamed of this moment, opening our perfect home nestled in the mountains of southern Spain to its first guests for a few days of total relaxation.

We’ve worked so hard for this, pouring all our energy and our savings into renovating the old farmhouse. I’ve started over, begun a new life. This place is my escape from everything that happened before.

But a stab of fear pierces my happiness as our guests arrive and I recognise 
Saskia. She was my best friend many years ago… before she betrayed me. She says she’s truly sorry, and wants us to start again. Maybe she’s telling the truth – but can I really forgive her?

Then things start to go wrong when I discover our beautiful water fountain stained a deep red. It feels like a warning. And my worst fears are confirmed when I find a note in my bedroom. My heart pounds as the black capitals scream at me, revealing my terrible secret.

Saskia swears she has nothing to do with it. Which means that someone else here knows the truth about me. And they’ll stop at nothing to get their revenge…

My Review
Oh my god! I have no words….

This book is unbelievable, I swear no matter how many times you try to predict the outcome of this book you will never guess correctly! So many times I thought I had it figured out so the ending came as a huge surprise. I still can’t believe it, I never saw it coming at all. The suspense in this book is unreal!

Theres a bunch of characters in this book and I thought they all just fitted the story perfectly.

There’s everything in this book, from a stunning location, to delicious food, to mystery and my god it is gripping! 

Dam this author knows how to write a bestseller and this is sure to be one!

I will definitely be recommending this book! Fantastic!
