About this listen

The addictive and compelling thriller from the million-copy bestselling author of The Girl Before

When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca, while his family returned to the UK.

Ownership of his home, a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the mountains, now passes to Finn and his sister. The only problem is that Jimmy recently remarried for the third time, and his new wife, Ruensa, is still living there.

The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa - along with her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death... Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?

Critic reviews

As accomplished as du Maurier and just as unsettling (Cara Hunter)

Not my favourite JP book, story was a bit drawn out and not as dramatic as I would have liked

Ok

As others have said 80% was great. But by the end I wasn’t really bothered about any of the characters. I even listened twice as I thought I was missing something.

Just missed the 5

Very different from other J P Delaney books but I found it interesting and enjoyable. Excited to see what they publish next!

Enjoyable but different

I was put off by the reviews but I thought it was great. I listened to this in two sittings on holiday

Great and I liked the phone call conversations

The other reviews say how boring and pathetic the character is, Wasn't that the point? I found I was trying to guess what was happening throughout. I do agree the ending was rushed. It didn't need to be spelled out what happened but could've had more viewpoints at the end.

A quick read with frustrating characters

Loved this book, I can almost always guess what is going to happen, but not with this book!! Recommend you read

An unexpected twist!

I usually like JP Delaney’s books gripping to the end but this one had a disappointing ending.

Hmmmm..

As others have said, it started well, but ending a little bit disappointing, Could do with a sequel to pick up some of the loose ends!

Feel like it needs a sequel!

Couldn’t wait for JP Delaneys latest release. Really enjoyed the story and couldn’t put it down, at first. The last part didn’t make a lot of sense to me and I felt was unfinished, somewhat rushed.

I will still be pre ordering the next one though!

Unsure
