De: Catherine Steadman

From the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water comes “an utter white-knuckle ride that took me into a heart of darkness” (Lucy Foley, author of The Paris Apartment).

“Addictive, thrilling, intoxicating.”—Lisa Jewell, author of None of This Is True

“The vacation home of dreams . . . or nightmares? What a ride—I tore through this nail-biting, pacey read.”—Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat

Nina, still grieving from the loss of her father, discovers that she has inherited property in the British Virgin Islands—a vacation home she had no idea existed, until now. The house is extraordinary: state-of-the-art, all glass and marble. How did her sensible father come into enough money for this? Why did he keep it from her? And what else was he hiding?

Maria, once an ambitious medical student, is a nanny for the super-rich. The money’s better, and so are the destinations where her work takes her. Just one more gig, and she’ll be set. Finally, she’ll be secure. But when her wards never show, Maria begins to make herself at home, spending her days luxuriating by the pool and in the sauna. There’s just one rule: Don’t go in the basement. That room is off-limits. But her curiosity might just get the better of her. And soon, she’ll wish her only worry was not getting paid.

Crazy unpredictable twists

I always love a Catherine Steadman novel and narration. You know that she is reading it exactly as it is meant to be read and it is always impeccable. I’ve never been disappointed by a storyline and this novel does not disappoint! Twists that you never see coming even until the very last page! I was hooked and listened in a matter of hours. Loved it!

Haunted House Story?

I've read or listened to most of Steadman's novels and have enjoyed them. This particular novel was, in my opinion, strange and left me wondering what was going on. It would be interesting to what gave the author the inspriation to write this "story." Nevertheless, I will look forward to her next work.

Bingeable!

Great story, awesome narrator, kept me going and I finished in a day! It’s been getting more and more difficult to find an audiobook that has a fun, thrilling story that catches my attention and holds it, and also has a great narrator. This one has it all. It may not be the most unique story, but it was a fun read!

Quirky!

This book did not take the path I predicted. I love Catherine’s books so I was eager to dive in. Story moves along and not your usual summer read!

What an unusual story.

This story will definitely keep your attention.The skipping from one character to another will have you rewinding to keep up with the intrigue.

Sitting at my desk with my jaw agape

I’ve loved all of Catherine Steadman’s novels but this one absolutely KILLED. I usually listen to audiobooks while doing art or mindless tasks at work but I couldn’t focus on anything but the book! This book had me theorizing, speculating, doubting and worrying - at one point I think I was just staring into blank space while I listened. I felt for the characters. I rooted for some, was suspicious of others. Totally fooled by some. Everything I want and expect in a thriller/mystery and more!!!

I couldn’t stop listening

Truly a spectacular, unpredictable thriller and I couldn’t put it down. This was as exciting as the first one of hers I was spellbound to “Something in the water”. One surprise after another that kept me completely engaged!

Colombia is not in Central America

I always enjoy Catherine Steadman’s books, but I am removing a star for her and her editor’s ignorance of basic geography. I found it really hard to get past the repeated descriptions of the protagonist’s heritage as “Central American” given that she has roots in Colombia, which is in South America. Doesn’t this book have an editor??

Masterful

I have loved every book by Catherine and equally her narration of each book. I am blown away that this book somehow tops the others to be her best yet. What an incredible concept and executed so well. I loved each character and the multiple perspectives changed at just the right moments. I never wanted this to end, and couldn't stop binge listening to see what happened next! Her narration was flawless as usual. More please!

Couldn’t stop listening

I’ve read/listened to all of her books and I think this one is my favorite! So good! I couldn’t stop listening.
