In an encounter straight out of fiction, Katie might have met Mr Right on the long-haul flight from Melbourne to New York. Richard Sinclair is charming, handsome, wealthy, cultured—and married. In an open marriage, according to him. When he invites her to join him in his lush lakeside villa in Italy as his son’s au pair, it might just be the opportunity for a reset that Katie has been longing for.

The mansion at the edge of Lake Scanno is a romantic’s dream. But despite the perfect golden afternoons, tranquil waters and luxurious surrounds, all is not what it seems. In the nearby village, there are ominous rumblings about ghosts, drownings and the tragic fate of the women who came before her. What dark depths of obsession and betrayal will Katie uncover in this fairy-tale paradise? And when all the secrets and lies are unburied, will she be able to live with the devastating consequences of her choices?

Editorial Review

By chance, or with intent?
What’s better than a December mystery that transports you to a luxurious lakeside villa in Italy? Katie’s instant connection across the aisle of a long flight with Richard Sinclair initially feels like destiny. Richard is magnetic in every sense. The issue? He’s married, though he claims it’s open. After Katie accepts his invitation to work as his son’s au pair, village whispers spread about ghosts, drownings, and missing women at the Sinclair estate. As Katie uncovers what happened to the women who came before her, romance turns to dread. Chance brought her there, but the consequences will leave you questioning every coincidence. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

I couldn’t believe when I saw who the narrator was- I’ve been a follower of Maddie McRae for years, but I had no idea she did voice acting/narrating! She was excellent and made the book come alive for me!

Fantastic narrator!
