A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick: 'We both loved this sizzling summer scorcher of a book'
Charlotte and Perry long for summers at Cliff View, their gorgeous holiday home overlooking the turquoise waters of Pine Ridge. And now that city friends Amy and Linus have bought a property nearby, they plan lazy weeks of sun, sea and sipping ros├й on CharlotteтАЩs summerhouse veranda.
But thereтАЩs trouble in paradise...
A rising tide of resentment towards second-home owners is heading their way and small acts of criminal damage are escalating into something more menacing. By the end of the summer, families and friendships will be torn apart and Pine Ridge will be known for more than its sun-drenched beaches.
It will be known for murder...
