Perfect for you if...

You enjoy psychological thrillers where the past catches up with characters in unexpected ways, especially ones set in small communities where everyone has secrets.
You like page-turners with genuine plot twists that reframe what you thought you knew, rather than relying on shock value alone.
You're drawn to atmospheric settings like coastal villages where the landscape itself feels threatening and claustrophobic despite being beautiful.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven literary thrillers over plot-driven mysteries that keep you guessing about whodunit.
You need deep emotional exploration of your protagonists' inner lives rather than fast-paced narrative momentum.
You're sensitive to stories involving the deaths of young people or prolonged guilt and trauma as central themes.

About this book

In August 1997, Matilda dies in a tragic accident on the Dorset rocks, leaving her best friend Sophie consumed by guilt. Decades later, Sophie returns to her family's beach hut for the first time since that summer, intending to sell it and move past the tragedy. While clearing out the hut, Sophie discovers evidence suggesting Matilda's death was not an accident. As she investigates what really happened that night, the past begins to intersect with the present. The close-knit community where she grew up still harbors a killer—someone who does not want Sophie uncovering the truth. This psychological thriller is set against a beach backdrop and contains a plot twist.
