Summary

⭐The new breathtaking suspense from the bestselling, Richard and Judy pick author⭐

Praise for Debbie Howells:

‘A terrific talent. She paints with words and takes a scalpel to emotions’ Peter James

Never rely on the kindness of strangers…

You trust me with your home, yet we’ve never met. While you’re away, I tend to your French chateau. Or so you believe.

But behind your back I immerse myself in your life of luxury – sipping your wine, lounging by your pool, wearing your designer clothes.

And now I’m addicted to the high life, I can’t let it go.

It’s simply to die for…

An unputdownable thriller about secret, lies and deadly obsession. Perfect for fans of Claire McGowan, Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena.

This book had so much potential but it was too complicated and disjointed. It just didn’t come together well at the end. I also found some of the voice work annoying.

Very average

There seemed to be lots of irrelevant parts to this story. In fact, the "house sitter" element could have been elimentated. I felt that the book ending was somewhat unsatisfactory. The book was a bit confusing to listen to in audio format because it is written with each character telling their story from the first person. On the whole it was a reasonable yarn. The narrator did a good job but there was little differentiation in voice used for each of the characters.

The plot lacked substance
