About this listen
Olivia and Julian are enjoying lazy days in their Spanish villa, a well-deserved break from their busy lives. Especially for Julian, who after a lifetime as a carer was thrust into the public eye following the tragic murder of his first wife.
The languid heat and peace of the villa is broken only by clifftop walks, sun-drenched lunches and cooling swims. Until a chance encounter with Gabriel—an attractive man, many years their junior—changes everything. Soon their idyllic break turns into a dangerous, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. Will any of them get out alive?
Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan's The Catch and The Couple at No. 9 by Claire Douglas.

"This taut, elegant thriller thrums with dark menace and dread. I couldn’t look away." (Kate Riordan, best-selling author of The Heatwave)

A bit predictable
Didn’t like the 2 main male characters Jeremy and Gabrielle. Perhaps we weren’t supposed to. Jeremy was sad & boring whilst Gabrielle was so transparent yet we were supposed to be surprised when he was found out.
Kept going in the hope Jeremy saw sense but ho hum.

Excellent!
A great listen, brilliant narration bought story and characters to life. Twisting this way and that, keeps you guessing right to the end!

Different
I failed to see the ending. I finished listening to the story but didn't really enjoy it. I struggled to find empathy for Julian, though felt I should. A weak man in many ways. Spineless even!
Gabriel, a man of intrigue, though his character is never fully revealed, which was fine.

Addictive!!
Couldn’t wait to finish this and find out the ending, I loved the suspense in it. Slightly slow to get into but it’s brilliant once it gets going.
Narrator is fantastic too and is talented at doing accents.

Sexy sunkissed thriller
When I read the blurb and reviews, I wasn't sure whether to bother with this one. I'm so glad I did - I loved it. The whole storyline was a complete surprise to me. It was sexy, gripping, and exciting, and I couldn't stop listening. I'd hoped for a more dramatic ending with more clarification as to what became of all the characters, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment as a whole. I'm sad that I've finished listening to this because I was enjoying it so much.
