Just Between Us

Six friends. One storm. A secret to die for...

We arrived at the beautiful, sprawling Spanish villa ready to celebrate - over twenty years of friendship, and of course, Alexis's big birthday. It's paradise. Alexis has pulled out all the stops, and like always, I know we're meant to be grateful...

But the tensions begin on the very first night.

The workaholic slipping off to take mysterious calls. The people pleaser afraid to speak out. The quiet observer snidely analysing every move we make. The former life of the party knocking back wine to forget it all. Even I, the peacekeeper, have secrets...

And of course, Alexis, the Queen Bee - furious that, as a summer storm descends, her perfect trip isn't working out like she planned... Her fury makes it feel like she's hiding something. Like her schemes are unravelling...

I thought our secrets finally emerging might be the biggest threat on this trip. But on the last night, I wake up on the cold floor of the locked wine cellar, a knife clutched in my hand and Alexis's body unmoving beside me.

I want to scream, to cry, to run, but with the floodwater rising, we're trapped. My friends all think I killed her. But I know I didn't, which means someone else here did...

An addictive, deliciously juicy and twisty psychological thriller that will have you turning the pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Wives, The Holiday and One of the Girls.
