The Woman In The Villa
A holiday to Italy with my husband and his family should be a dream trip. Spending two weeks in the scorching sun, relaxing by the pool, sipping on local wine…
Two weeks of trying to hide what I’ve done.
When I meet Carmen, the woman staying in the villa next to us, I’m immediately drawn to her, thankful to have some normalcy against the intensity of my in laws. I didn’t expect to tell her my biggest secret, one that could tear my whole life apart.
But when I return the next day to beg Carmen not to tell a soul, the house is completely empty, and she is nowhere to be found.
Who was the woman in the villa? Why was she there? Who have I told my darkest secret to?
My Darling Boy
THE PERFECT NIGHT.
I had been so excited for our big New Year's Eve party. Hosting with my best friend Alice and our two beautiful boys - my Leo and her Robbie, who had grown up together like brothers.
A SHOCKING DEATH.
But then I heard the terrible crash. I remember the flashing lights of the ambulance and how everyone then turned on Leo. Saying that Robbie was dead because of my son.
WHO IS TO BLAME?
The boys had argued, but Leo still won't tell me why. I know he's keeping a secret from me. I need to find out the truth, need to clear the name of my darling boy before something terrible happens to him, too.
But I also need to make sure no one finds out the truth about me...

The Downstairs Neighbour
In a converted Georgian townhouse in south west London, three families live under one roof.
The large flat that takes up the top two floors is home to the Harlow family: happily married Paul and Steph, and their bubbly teenage daughter Freya. The smaller first floor flat is rented by Emma, who spends most of her time alone, listening to people coming in and out of the building. And the basement flat belongs to Chris, a local driving instructor, who prefers to keep his personal life private from the neighbours.
But their lives are all upended when Freya vanishes. As the police become involved and a frantic Paul and Steph desperately search for answers, they begin to realise that the truth behind their daughter’s disappearance may lie closer to home than they were expecting.
When everyone has something to hide, can you ever really know those closest to you? Or will some secrets be taken to the grave?
