Summary
The perfect holiday or the perfect nightmare...
I sit sipping champagne in the warm water, bubbles frothing around me as I admire the breathtaking view of gorgeous blue skies and mountains. I can’t believe I’m here, at this stunning holiday home. It’s to die for....
My best friend and her husband have invited my family and I to their lakeside property for the weekend, to experience their luxury lifestyle. I’m not envious of their wealth, although I know my husband, Ryan, is. All I want is to escape from our recent troubles and get my marriage back on track.
Then I overhear Ryan having a whispered conversation late one evening, and he says something that sends a shiver down my spine. In this beautiful paradise, my whole world is turned upside down.
Just when I think things can’t get any worse, I discover a second secret. The truth is even more shocking than I imagine, and now I have no idea who to trust.
This was meant to be the perfect holiday, but someone isn’t going to survive it....
A twist-filled psychological thriller that will keep your heart pounding. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl, and The Housemaid, you’ll be gripped by The Holiday Home.

Daniel Hurst does it again!
A cracking good story, plenty to get your head into and a few surprises along the way.
Really well narrated by both Zoe Mills and Richard Burnip. I'm already looking forward to another good book from this author.

Brilliant, twisty tale!
A holiday from hell in a remote Scottish cabin, surrounded by beautiful scenery and terrible people. Can you really ever trust your life long friends and your own family?
I really enjoyed this, it had a fast pace, yet it was a slow burn. I found an interesting take where we carry through the novel with a morsel of the truth, several hints of what is to come and a take from each of the characters of what to expect. All reaching a really satisfying end.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to listen to this audio book in return for an honest review.

Very boring
I can describe this book as a '4 sentence idea, drawn out to a 6.49hrs'. And this is clear if you managed to listen to the whole book. Very boring and you know exactly what will happen. I will definitely be returning this book. (I notice all 3 positive reviews before mine had received the book for free).

A great listen
The Holiday Home is a great suspense thriller that will have you hooked from the very first page. This is the second book I’ve read by this author and he is fast becoming one of my favourite thriller authors. As soon as I had finished reading the prologue I just knew this was my type of read. The author has a great way of writing about their characters and it didn’t take me long to get to know them all. The suspense throughout the book was great and just had me wanting to listen on. From start to finish I loved it.

Male narrator very annoying
I liked the story I guess, but I think the male character is whining all the time. I even fast forwarded parts in which he had a part.

Really badly written
Oh gosh, I feel bad about this, but this book is so badly written it’s hard to understand how it was published. It was so awkward to listen to, as though the author needed to up the word count, then sat with a thesaurus changing words unnecessarily. The storyline was silly, and it feels like perhaps the author has never interacted with, spoken to, or perhaps even met real people.
The narrators tried, although the male narrator was a bit am-dram which added to the awkwardness of listening.
I feel a bit mean here, but I’m miffed to have wasted a credit, they’re not cheap!

Terrible!
I’m really sorry to say but this was the worst book I’ve ever read! So predictable, poorly written with extremely random parts added to it for no reason. I don’t like to leave a bad review but this absolutely warrants one ☹️

Weak and sexist
Sadly a waste of a credit for me - the plot, writing and characters were all weak, like a first draft. I wasn’t invested in any of it. Lots of sexist attitudes casually expressed by different characters which I kept expecting to be challenged or exposed as part of their character defects, but no, it appears that the views expressed through the characters were not ironic in the least. The narrators I’m afraid I found dull yet also irritating.
