After the suicide of his uncle, Lucas Heathfield inherits Stoneborough Manor in Oxfordshire. He imagines it as a place where he and his tight-knit group of friends can spend time away from London. But from the beginning, the house changes everything. It begins to have a strange effect on Lucas and he becomes haunted by the death of his uncle, obsessed by ciné films of his uncle's friends at Stoneborough 30 years earlier. Within the claustrophobic confines of the house over a hot, decadent summer, secrets slide out of the past and sexual tensions escalate, shattering the group's friendship and changing their lives irrevocably.

Really enjoyable listen. Great twisty plot and well read by the narrator. I highly recommend this.

Great book

Beautifully written, utterly believable and relatable characters, spellbinding writing and atmosphere, wonderful descriptions of place (you are there!) a subtle, increasing ominousness, a slow burn, yes, but worth it to get to the final, edge-of-your-seat and holding-your-breath chapter. All other thrillers have felt like terrible fast-food since reading this. For me, this was the perfect mixture of writing worthy of literary fiction, and suspense worthy of good commercial fiction. I have seen some mixed reviews on Amazon and Audible and have felt disappointed for the author because her book has so much more depth and merit than all the other thrillers I’ve read in the last 12 months. I guess a lot of people just want a quick, shallow plot and a fast, trashy read.
The narration was superb - a really enjoyable voice with excellent intonation and rhythm and differentiation of characters’ voices and the narrator’s performance really added to the book for me. I see the narrator has the same surname as the author and wonder if they are related.
I have read The Bed I Made and Before We Met by the author, and each was a similar experience for me: each a really satisfying read, with convincing characters, excellent setting and sense of place, a careful build-up and a thrilling and frightening climax.

A cut above most other thrillers
