A remote lakeside house. Six strangers with something to hide. Who's out for revenge? Who will survive?

When Polly signs up to an art retreat in the Lake District, it's an escape from the stress of recent months, when a stalker preyed on her and her friend.

It's also an opportunity to find out more about her family history: Polly believes her biological mother once lived here, at Lakeside House.

But things quickly turn sinister. The previous owners supposedly took their own lives here, years before – and the glamorous new owners are now receiving disturbing threats. Someone is sabotaging Polly's artwork. The five other guests on the retreat all seem to be hiding something.

Then one of them goes missing.

Is someone trying to scare Polly? Do the creepy goings-on have anything to do with the family she never knew?

Or has the stalker followed her to Lakeside House, and is now hiding in plain sight...?

There's nothing like isolation with strangers.

Polly has no idea what she's in for as she embarks on a retreat in the hopes of finding out more about her mother. No one is who they say they are, and there's more to her family's history than she would've ever expected. She just had to stay alive to learn it all.

Distinctly 2D

This book has good premise and what looked like real potential to be a creepy, page turning mystery.
It falls flat right out of the gate though.
The characters have absolutely no depth or dimension. It feels is if the author is just completely detached from the characters, the location(s), and the story in general.
There is no one to root for or be afraid of because it’s just flat-it’s not suspenseful, there’s no tension, there’s no reason to keep listening.
I tried hard to finish this one but finally gave up with about 3 hours left.
It’s just not good.
It doesn’t deliver.
