Description:

From the international bestselling author of The Drowning Woman, a psychological thriller about a couple rocked by infidelity who moves to a villa in Spain’s Costa Brava to rebuild their relationship, only to welcome a pair of visitors who have no intention of leaving.

Sydney Lowe’s life in New York is shattered when her husband, Curtis, admits to a meaningless affair with a client. Begging for forgiveness and vowing to prove his devotion, Curtis suggests the couple retreat to a remote hilltop house in Spain to repair their marriage.

High above the Mediterranean, Sydney and Curtis are working on the isolated property and their relationship when a pair of Australian travelers turns up at their door in dire need of help. Lonely for companionship and desperate for free labor, Sydney and Curtis invite the attractive young couple to stay. But as the days pass, dark secrets come to light, the Lowes’ bond is tested, and not everyone will leave the villa alive.

Adele’s Review:

Thriller book and movie lovers like me know that when a story protagonist invites someone to stay in their home, things won’t end well. Strangers In The Villa lives up to that expectation in spades. The novel begins with married couple Sydney and Curtis working to rebuild their relationship, and their reconciliation seems to be going reasonably well. With the arrival of two strangers, we see the moment everything changes and watch helplessly as their story turns darker and more dangerous with each chapter. The final third of the novel takes an even darker turn than this reviewer expected and caught me by surprise.
