Don't miss the BRAND NEW utterly gripping thriller from bestseller Rona HalsallThe most twisty psychological thriller of the summer, guaranteed to leave readers’ pulses racing. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Claire Douglas, and Freida McFadden ☀️📚 Would you swap houses – and lives – with a stranger? 👀

Maddie and her long-term boyfriend, Tom, dream of a life living and working abroad, though right now they’re settling for a lovely vacation in the sunny European beach town.

When Maddie is befriended by a lovely-seeming couple, who are living the digital nomad lifestyle, they make her an offer that feels hard to refuse…

Swap houses, swap lives – just for a couple of weeks - and see if living abroad is a lifestyle that would really suit them.

But as soon as they’ve handed keys over to their home in London, it becomes clear the couple aren’t who they’d seemed to be. And Maddie and Tom’s dream getaway is about to become a nightmare they could never have imagined… Bestselling authors love Rona Halsall: ‘Wow. Wow. Wow. A fantastic read. Just my sort of thriller.
