About this listen
An atmospheric psychological thriller about a glamorous family living on the coast of southern Australia. 2023's most addictive beach book.
A perfect family. A devastating secret.
Summer, 2000. In the tranquil town of Queen's Point in southern Australia, the Whitlam family marks the end of every season with a lavish party in their clifftop mansion. Here, clutching her first glass of real champagne, the summer breeze intoxicating on her skin, sixteen-year-old Lucy Ross is kissed for the very first time. And then, in the shadows of the rose garden, she sees something she shouldn't.
Winter, 2019. After two decades of silence, Lucy is back in Queen's Point. She hasn't planned on staying long. But when human remains wash up on the freezing beach, the police close the town. Unable to leave, Lucy is forced to rekindle old friendships–and examine old truths–she has long ago tried to forget.
As long-buried secrets start to surface, Lucy must decide. Will she confront the past and tell the truth? Or will she still do anything to protect the people she loves?

Good debut
A good story with a suitable flawed and a little damaged main character dealing with several personal losses as she rekindles her friendship with the rich and influential family who had a strong impact on her 19 years earlier. Since the body of the family matriarch have just been discovered, in spite of her having a social media presence and the family claiming she was alive, though estranged, the situation is quite tense.Loved the setting in a small coastal town outside Adelaide, and the wry humour. The narration was excellent.

Many twists, some predictable
A good listen, a little slow & repetitive at times, but a good story. The ending was a bit predictable.
