'Brilliant' The Times 'An absorbing summer read' Mail on Sunday 'Gripping' Sunday Times 'A skilful domestic whodunit' Shots When two families - one rich, one not - go on vacation together, little do they know that someone won't be returning home. Fripp Island, South Carolina, is the perfect destination for the wealthy Daly family. For Lisa Daly's childhood friend, Poppy, it's a world away from her everyday life - so when Lisa invites Poppy's family to join them, she can hardly turn down an all expenses paid vacation for her husband and children. But everyone brings secrets to the island, distorting what should be a convivial, relaxing summer on the beach. As revelations from the past unfold, events in the present build to a shocking conclusion. What would you do to keep someone you love safe? What wouldn't you do?'

The House on Fripp Island Reviews

A disconcerting story about the toxic power of suspicion and rumour. A smart summer read. * Daily Mail *
Brilliant ... It is rare to care about every character in a crime novel. Rebecca Kauffman, in wryly highlighting the inherent sadness of things, ultimately resembles not Alice Sebold but the great Alice Munro. * The Times *
In watchful prose by turns powerful and delicate, the action builds to an event as inevitable as it was unpredictable. Gripping. * Sunday Times *
[An] absorbing summer read * Mail on Sunday *
This is subtly suspenseful, unsettling stuff, the characters drawn with such vivid precision that they fairly jump off the page * Guardian *
Rebecca Kauffman turns each cog of this compelling murder-mystery with a delightfully sensual slowness. Her taut prose and punchy observations add to her steady, assured delivery ... an excellent summer read' * Press Association *
Rebecca Kauffman has long been one of my favorite writers, and The House on Fripp Island is her best novel yet ... Kauffman's latest is a rare and gripping combination of gloriously observed prose and three hundred pages of pure suspense. I loved it. -- Julie Buntin, author of Marlena
A sharp, modern story about the wilderness of family life. -- Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire and The Daughter
A novel full of secrets set in a stunning beach house is my definition of a perfect summer read ... Bring plenty of sunscreen when you take this book to the beach, you'll be reading all day long. -- Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Same Sky
Rebecca Kauffman has produced a disturbing novel for our times ... a skilful domestic whodunnit * Shots *
Kauffman's characters leap off the page ... Readers will devour this suspenseful summer drama. * Publisher's Weekly *
