It was the perfect trip, until it ended in murder…

I stand on the balcony with my gorgeous husband, Reuben, by my side. My family have returned to this beautiful French hotel to celebrate my mother’s seventieth birthday. The sun is shining and everything seems perfect. It’s paradise but I feel like I’m trapped…

Because twenty years ago someone was killed in the glittering swimming pool.

I watch as my children run around excitedly, my parents sip cocktails, and my brother throws his head back as he laughs. But a shiver runs down my spine because I know what really happened all those years ago.

I have to smile and lie to my family because of the secrets I’m keeping. Then I receive a text message, and the words turn my heart to ice:

You should never have come back here…

I can’t sleep and I’m constantly looking over my shoulder. And then one night as Reuben and I stroll in the hotel grounds, I see a woman’s lifeless body in the pool. My mouth opens in a silent scream. It’s happening all over again.

Are my precious family now in danger too?

From the number one bestselling author Daniel Hurst, I Shouldn’t Have Come Here is an absolutely addictive psychological thriller that will have you questioning everything until you reach the final, jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, T M Logan and Lisa Jewell.

This was poor fare on various levels: the writing needed better editing to get rid of word repetition and cliches, the characters had little depth or interest beyond the immediate situations, and although the plotting was acrobatic, it returned us to a conclusion that could have been foreseen easily in the opening pages. It was only in hope of being proved wrong that I kept listening, so I was very irritated to have stuck with it. I am sure previous titles by this author were better written, as I had been pleased to see this was available - but I am not inclined to try again. The actors were both very good and did their best with shoddy material.

Sloppy writing, tedious characters
