A gripping summer read from the author of The Long Dark Road, The Beach House is a sinister psychological thriller showing the other side of a holiday paradise.
This vacation is about to turn deadly...
Cora's on the island vacation of her dreams: sharing a private Caribbean beach with her boyfriend. It feels like paradise, and when her boyfriend proposes, things couldn't get any better... until news comes through of an eight-figure cheque following the sale of her new fiancé's business.
But despite their happiness, there is one catch to this trip to paradise. Looking forward to a wonderful life together, the couple are shocked to find their island isn't so private after all.
