The St. Tropez Affair

The villa is perfect. The view is perfect. The friends are perfect. One of them is lying to you. Cara has been counting down to this holiday for months. Two weeks in a clifftop villa above the glittering bay of St Tropez with the four people she loves most. Good wine. Hot sun. No secrets. But on the first night, she finds the note. Slipped under her bedroom door. Handwritten. Just five words. She tells herself it's a joke. Except none of them admit to writing it. And now that she's looking - really looking - she can see the cracks. The phone, always face-down by the pool. The conversations that stop the moment she walks in. The glances across the dinner table that nobody will explain. And then there's Luc. The villa's quiet, guarded owner who appears a little too often for someone who claims to be fixing things. He's hiding something. About the house. About the woman who stayed in this room before her. About the night she went into the bay and never came home. As the days blur together under the relentless Riviera sun, Cara finds herself caught between the man she's beginning to trust and the friends she's beginning to doubt - and closing in on a truth that someone in this villa will do anything to keep buried. The note said one of them was lying. >Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Lucy Foley, and Lisa Jewell.
