About this listen

A gripping, twisty bestseller, longlisted for the 2025 Theakston’s Crime Novel of the Year Award and a Richard & Judy Book Club pick

Shortlisted for the 2025 New York Festivals Awards – Audiobooks Ensemble

'Riveting' THE TIMES

‘A stylish, sun-soaked thriller… Our Holiday is destined to be THE summer read’ Janice Hallett

'The perfect summer thriller' T.M. Logan

‘Brilliant and current…Louise Candlish at her best, a perfect read for the summer' B A Paris

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 rosé on Charlotte’s summerhouse veranda.

But there’s 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…
