'A masterclass in psychological suspense. I couldn't put it down' Claire Douglas 'A gripping new thriller by Gilly Macmillan - the mistress of classy suspense' Shari Lapena 'A superbly plotted, breathless mystery' Lucy Clarke 'A one-sit read. Creepy, compelling and superbly plotted' Sarah Pearse ______________________________ Be careful what you wish for... Nicole and Tom's lives are changed overnight by a ten-million-pound lottery win. Before they know it they've moved into a state-of-the-art Glass Barn conversion in the stunning grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire. But their dream quickly turns into a nightmare when Tom is found dead in the swimming pool, with a wound on his head. Someone close to home must be responsible. But other than the young couple who live in the Manor, and their housekeeper in the Coach House next door, there's no one around for miles.

Nicole & Tom's dreams were supposed to have come true when they won the lottery. They quit their jobs & bought a plot of land in what were the grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire, & built themselves a state-of-the-art barn conversion. Things crash to a halt though when upon returning from a day out at the local country fair, Nicole finds Tom dead in the swimming pool. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf She runs to the neighbours, Sasha & Olly, who live at the Manor & the police are called. Evidence of someone else being at the house that day comes to light, a card for a masseuse is found in Tom's pocket, & lipstick is found on one of the cups in his den. Everything points to Tom possibly being unfaithful & the police wonder if Nicole found out. Meanwhile next door at the Manor, things may not be exactly what they seem. (edited) 11mo
OutsmartYourShelf The story is told from multiple points of view including those of a character from five years ago called Anne. The reader has entries from her diary interspersed with the present day goings-on. It was okay, it was all just a bit too slow. I also didn't really like any of the characters, even the police detectives were kind of obnoxious so I didn't really become invested in any of their stories. 11mo
OutsmartYourShelf Verdict: slow-going & found it hard to care about any of the characters. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Random House UK/Cornerstone/Century, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

Well this was quite the read. There's a fair amount of secrets and lies flowing with some very clever twists along the way. I did figure out what happened to Tom but some of the other secrets took me by surprise. The plot is a slow burn as you slowly learn about the characters, They all have their own flaws and issues but I think I was drawn most to poor Tom. The ending was brilliant, I love how it all fell into place. #Netgalley 4*
