The Housesitter (paperback)
How far would you go to escape the past?
Fresh from the tabloid storm of her very public divorce, Em McKinney flees to the tranquil hills of southern Tasmania, hoping to rebuild her life while finishing the cookbook she’s always dreamed of. Nestled on a picturesque farm surrounded by quirky animals and stunning landscapes, the housesit feels like the perfect refuge.
But beneath the surface of this idyllic escape, something sinister is brewing. When the chickens are attacked and a chilling note appears on her doorstep, her peace is shattered, and the nosy neighbours seem to know far more than they should. Just as Em begins to question her instincts, her mother vanishes without a trace—and the threats grow dangerously personal.
As secrets unravel and the danger closes in, Em must decide: Will she retreat into fear, or rise to uncover the truth before it’s too late?
Are you ready to uncover the secrets that could cost Em everything?
From the best selling author of BENEATH THE SURFACE comes another page-turning psychological with buried secrets.
