Summary:
WISH YOU WERE HERE? THINK AGAIN…
High on the wave-pounded cliffs, far from the bustling souks of Marrakech, sits The Surf House.
A hidden gem on Morocco’s shores, the house is a sanctuary for the surfers, travellers and dreamers who wash in.
But the idyll is built on something rotten.
And when Bea arrives, relieved to find refuge after a dangerous encounter in a Marrakech alleyway, she soon gets caught in the swell of a deep, dark mystery.
Because another young woman went missing one year ago – and the last place she was sighted was The Surf House.
My thoughts:
My 1st Lucy Clarke book & it did not disappoint! I will for sure be adding her backlist to my tbr!!!
From the exotic location of Marrakech and Morocco’s shores, to the wayward travelers who we meet at The Surf House, I could not get enough of this one. And while it took me a while to read the 1st half of this one–totally a problem of me not having the time to sit down and read the book–I flew through the 2nd half, reading it in one afternoon!
I loved the sense of unease we get almost from the start…and then when you find out a traveler went missing a year ago from the same place, the tension ramps up, especially once you start getting flashbacks from her POV.
I had so many theories as I was reading this one, and yet the twists were so expertly placed that it really kept me guessing all the way through. So much misdirection, with a completely shocking ending that I am still thinking about!
