A glamorous chateau
Aura and Nick don’t talk about what happened in England. They’ve bought a chateau in France to make a fresh start, and their kids need them to stay together – whatever it costs.
A couple on the brink
The expat community is welcoming, but when a neighbour is murdered at a lavish party, Aura and Nick don’t know who to trust.

Someone knows exactly why they really came to the chateau. And someone is going to give them what they deserve.

I would have liked MORE MORE MORE chateau!
I did like the delve into the UK Chateau owning community and exploration into their dynamic with the locals and would have like to have got more story involvement there.
The plot was good, if a little far fetched in parts. Interesting also the twist on French property laws - but all in all I felt it was a little bit of a missed opportunity for a real stonker of an atmospheric thriller.
I liked a lot of the character development - one character subplot a little too fanciful and seemed like just added for spice, rather like a unicorn darting through an episode of "A Place in the Sun" - but otherwise all ticked away well and it made for an excellent listen.
Overall I think it was an amazing idea, a fabulous and fascinating setting, a lovely escapist location for those missing their travel and entertaining but not a patch on "The Chalet" and really a bit of a missed opportunity.
Would have liked to have revelled in MUCH more "Escape to the Chateau" atmosphere and detail - more realistic characters and maybe more of a slow ominous burn to make the most of the setting.
Slap bash wallop of an ending though, a little OTT but still ingenious and horrific.
Looking forward to Catherine Cooper's next book and hopefully another innovative, imaginative destination thriller.
Great setting - hoping for another "Chalet" but ..

The ending comes way too quick, the author ties up all lose ends in minutes, I felt robbed of all the detail I had enjoyed at the beginning of the book.
Most of the book deserves 5 stars, the ending let’s it down 😢
A great read but an abrupt ending
