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)
All stars
Most relevant
The first two thirds of this book had me gripped to the point that I lost sleep wanting to move on with it , But ,the last third was a huge disappointment.
It reminded me of a character in Dallas, who walked out of the shower ,and told us all that everything we’d seen for months before was simply a dream . ! I didn’t buy it then and I don’t buy it now .

Almost there…

Always enjoy Delaney’s books and this one started well. However, it lost its way two-thirds in and got a bit ridiculous! Seemed a lack of plot imagination and finished quickly and without depth..

Started Well But Poor Finish

Enjoyable listen

I love JP Delaneys books and had this pre ordered. But I’m not sure on this one. 80% of the story was fantastic. But the last 20% felt rushed and didn’t exactly make sense. It’s good. Just not great.

Not sure on this one

As others have said, it started well, but ending a little bit disappointing, Could do with a sequel to pick up some of the loose ends!

Feel like it needs a sequel!
