An absolutely gripping thriller with secrets and heart-pounding suspense

Six friends on holiday. A secret worth dying for.

The gorgeous French stone villa is just as I remembered it. I was anxious about coming back here after all this time. But as I see the faces of my best friends, I know I made the right decision. A weekend away is just what I need.

That was until Frederick arrived…

Putting on a smile, I pretend that his presence doesn’t affect me. But as I make my way down to an old wine cellar to get supplies for our first dinner together, I sense Frederick near me in the dim light. And then it happens: the old door swings shut, trapping us both inside.

Now it’s been several hours. As a storm rages outside and water starts to pour in rapidly around us, it’s clear that no one is coming to help. Not even my husband.

Trapped with a man I have avoided for so long, I have no choice but to confront what happened between us twenty years ago. And as Frederick’s secret is revealed, I’m forced to ask myself: is it really him I can’t trust? Or is there someone much closer to me who wants me gone?

A totally addictive psychological suspense thriller that fans of Lucy Foley, Adele Parks and Sally Hepworth will absolutely love.
