High Season

Escape to the French Riviera with this totally addictive thriller about murder, memory and dark family secrets – the perfect summer read for fans of Lucy Clarke, Shalini Boland and White Lotus. We never speak of that summer . . . Twenty years ago, Nina Drayton’s older sister Tamara drowned at their family’s luxury villa on the Côte d’Azur. And five-year-old Nina became the child witness who helped send their babysitter, Josie Jackson, to prison for ten years. But now, true crime investigators are reopening the case – and Nina is no longer certain she remembers what really happened that summer. Returning to the French Riviera for the first time since Tamara’s death, Nina is plunged back into a world of sun-bleached terraces, glittering turquoise seas and the faded opulence of her family's once-splendid villa. But beneath the picture-perfect views lies a chilling possibility: What if Josie was innocent? And if Nina’s memory was wrong . . . then the real killer is still walking free. Atmospheric, twisty and impossible to put down, High Season is a gripping psychological suspense novel about trauma, guilt, obsession and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
