Publisher's 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.

My 2nd Daniel Hurst book- def not my last!

I love the way Daniel Hurst writes his books in the present tense, while also portraying that the narrator already knows what's going to happen. Hindsight 20/20. This book was full of lies and deceit from multiple characters. Lots of twists and turns all the way to the epilogue. I really enjoyed the narration, there was alot of emotion captured through their voices. Great book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture Audio for an advanced audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The Holiday Home

This is a good thriller, despite it being a bit predictable. I guessed the ending quite early.
This review is of the audiobook, however, which is well narrated by Zoe Mills and Richard Burnip. They team up to bring out the best in this book. My rating is 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. Minus the narration, I would give the book three stars.

Disappointing

This book just wasn’t good and ended up being nothing like what the summary described.
You’d think this would be a mystery taking place in a very remote location with all that that generally entails…
Instead this is a poorly executed story about two couples and their complex relationships.
There is almost nothing said about the Scottish Highlands, almost no descriptive language whatsoever, the “holiday house” has no part in this story.
It’s just a bad domestic situation that could’ve taken place anywhere.
Also, all of these characters are awful.
There is no one to root for or align with.
Ultimately, I really didn’t care what happened to any of them.
The story was just ridiculous.
I’m sorry I hate leaving purely negative reviews but I couldn’t find anything redeemable here.

This was just bad

One of the worst books in a long time. Nobody react the way these characters do. It's all just ridiculous and poorly thought out.
