About this audiobook
A completely addictive psychological thriller from the UK Top 50 bestselling author of The Bride
It was meant to be the perfect getaway…
As I board the plane, all I can feel is hope and excitement. One whole week away. Just me and the man I have promised to be with forever.
Time to repair what has been broken. Maybe even try for another baby, and pray that this time it doesn’t end heartbreakingly.
I just need to not think about what George has done. He’s my husband. And this is the holiday where we make things right.
But then I realise he can’t take his eyes off the beautiful woman who’s just boarded the plane in front of me…
In that moment, everything changes.
And nobody is safe.
A gripping, twisty, breathtaking psychological thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. If you loved The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and The Couple at No.9, you’ll be addicted to The Holiday.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Repetitive. Like beating a dead horse. I skipped ahead to the last 2 chapters to get the gist of the entire book. Glad I didn't listen to the whole thing.
