High Season by Katie Bishop

High Season by Katie Bishop

Escape to the French Riviera with this totally addictive thriller about murder, memory and dark family secrets – the perfect summer read for fans of Lucy Clarke, Shalini Boland and White Lotus.

We never speak of that summer . . .

I was five when my sister died.

For twenty years, I've believed I saw our babysitter kill her.

Now, true crime investigators are reopening the case, and I'm no longer sure what I remember.

So I've returned to our family's once-grand villa on the French Riviera. Perched above glittering Mediterranean waters, its terracotta walls glowing pink in the evening sun, it’s as beautiful as ever.

But I'm not here for the views. I'm here to uncover the truth.

Because if I was wrong, an innocent woman went to prison.

If I was wrong, the real killer is still walking free.


Atmospheric, twisty and impossible to put down, High Season is a gripping psychological suspense novel about trauma, guilt, obsession and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
