Book Synopsis
It seems like a lovely little house. But it has dark secrets…
Karen is a busy wife and mother. Between work, her husband Peter, and their two children, Oscar and Noah, she doesn’t have a minute to herself.
So when it all begins to feel too much, Karen knows just what she needs – to get away for a little while. Nothing big. Just a short break.
Her friend, Eve, tells her about a quaint little holiday home, and Karen books herself a short stay. She’ll have time to read, take bubble baths, unwind. Perfect.
But this is no ordinary holiday home – it contains a dark and disturbing secret. Because Karen isn’t alone here – someone is watching her. Waiting for the right moment to spring the trap and plunge her into a nightmare she’ll never forget.
The Break – the stunning psychological thriller from the author of The Passenger and The New Friends
My Review
What a quick entertaining read. You have domestic turmoil, an underappreciated wife, a cheating spouse, and a psycho seeking revenge. Not everyone is reliable, but I won’t let on who you can’t trust. At times it seems a little over the top and the characters are a little too trusting, but entertaining nonetheless. Almost reminded me of a Lifetime movie of the week.
If you’re looking for an unpredictable domestic suspense book, you should give this one a try.
