Some guests bring more than just their luggage...

From the No.1 bestselling author of His Wife’s Secret.

“…a seriously dark psychological thriller with page after page of shocks!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s hard to imagine a couple with a more idyllic lifestyle – although you wouldn’t speak to a dog the way Carmel speaks to her husband, Rufus.

She’s so rude to him. It’s obvious their marriage isn’t as strong as it looks from the outside, although I do my best to ignore the tensions and get on with my job.

After all, I’m not here to judge. I’ve been invited in to make a film about the Van Der Prousts and how they’ve transformed their tumbledown, old farmhouse into a stunning contemporary home complete with all the mod-cons.

It gives me a fascinating insight into their lives, and increasingly I find myself wondering what it would be like to walk in Carmel’s shoes. Her fabulous clothes, the stunning house, her handsome husband.

It’s so tempting, but as I dive deeper into the couple’s past and the home they’ve built together, I discover all is not as it seems and that dangerous secrets lurk behind every door.

At least the Van Der Prousts don’t know who I really am.

Or why I’m really here…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

AJ Wills is a bestselling author of psychological thrillers, captivating readers with his deep exploration of the dark side of human nature.

A former journalist, he’s swapped headlines for head-spinning plotlines and now enjoys nothing more than crafting devilish stories about everyday people in unimaginable situations.

He published his first book in 2012 and now considers himself something of an aficionado in keeping readers too busy reading to turn out the lights at night.

When not writing, he's likely to be comparing plot twists with his thriller-writer wife, AJ McDine. Just imagine how terrifying their date nights must be!

I knew within the first few chapters how everything would play out. There were absolutely no surprises from beginning to end. I think anyone with a good imagination would agree.

A chilling psychological thriller that is difficult to put down. Missing women, a delusional woman with life issues, and a deeply disturbed couple with a wild background. Told between timelines and highly suspenseful with surprising twists and turns.

The book started off well. Good story. The ending seemed like it was wrapped up too quickly or not enough explanation.

I love Adrian's books & this one is nothing short of brilliant. The story is very dark , twisty, clever, unputdownable & the ending was definitely not one I saw coming. The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger so hoping there might be a sequel. Very clever writer. Highly recommend. Worthy of 10* !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A mind boggling read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2023

Well - I wasn’t sure if I enjoyed this book or not when I’d finished as I had so many u answered questions. However, a couple of days on and realizing I’m still thinking about it, makes me think I did enjoy it as if I hadn’t I would have forgotten about it! I’m not sure I’ve read a book where I disliked a character so much and in a way wanted her to get punished. A bit slow to get going and I certainly didn’t predict the ending which became a proper page turner. Definitely worth a read and maybe this book needs a sequel.

What a great book! A real page turner, with twists and turns to keep you guessing. I thoroughly recommend this book but make sure you have plenty of time as you won't be able to put it down. If you like good physiological thriller this book is for you.
Excellent read and I am certainly buying more of AJ Wills books.
