The family retreat

Thomas, Bev

£8.99

When Rob decides the family needs to get away for the summer Jess is not convinced – won’t all the things they’re escaping be waiting for them on their return? But the kids are thrilled, and before long their idyllic little cottage, the sea air, and the feel of skin sticky from sun-cream, lollies and sand, begins to work its magic. Jess allows herself to sink into the holiday vibes – the family even make holiday friends. The summer heat intensifies. Jess – ever vigilant – unearths a secret, a problem she’s sure she can help solve. But things are not always as they seem. The water may look inviting but even the gentlest looking waves can hide the deadliest undercurrents.

Description

‘Beautifully written, emotionally intelligent.’
Daily Mail

‘What separates Thomas’ writing from your average domestic drama is its compelling persuasiveness.’
Stylist

ONE PERFECT HOLIDAY. ONE SHOCKING ENDING.

After a stressful year at work, GP Jess decides the family needs a seaside holiday.

This idyllic Dorset cottage might just be the perfect escape. But when the neighbour hints at a dire predicament, Jess puts the idea of sun-kissed, sandy bliss on hold. Like a door nudged ajar, the lure of solving someone’s problems invites her in.

Fuelled by a heady rush of altruism, she decides to act – a choice that will have unforgettable, potentially devastating consequences.
