About this listen

The addictive and compelling thriller from the million-copy bestselling author of The Girl Before

When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca, while his family returned to the UK.

Ownership of his home, a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the mountains, now passes to Finn and his sister. The only problem is that Jimmy recently remarried for the third time, and his new wife, Ruensa, is still living there.

The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa - along with her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death... Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?

Critic Reviews

As accomplished as du Maurier and just as unsettling (Cara Hunter)

I was hooked, I see the other reviews not liking it. I would listen to it for an hour here and there, when I would do house work. The storyline was great, I did not see the twists coming.

I liked the description of the scenic environment, very lighthearted, relaxing story nothing too flashy or crazy just easy listening while I’m sleeping at night .

Interesting story

The start of the book draws out a bit but the information that builds to a unexpected twist at the end made me think of all that little signs of what was to come. The imagery of the house and environment was beautiful to imagine.

the twist wasn't expected
