Her Last Holiday: the next addictive crime thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Strangers and Sleep

Product Information

years ago) - heartbroken by some recent developments in her life she hopes Tom and Kate's retreat will fix her. I recommend this story, especially to those who like discovering family secrets from years ago and complicated family relations.

Thanks to the pressure and guilt tripping of her miserable parents who lost rest of their sanities after sudden disappearance of their young daughter, Fran attends to the same retreat because the same health guru couple Tom and Kate reopen the place after Tom has been set free from two years long prison time. I did however finish it because I wanted to know what happened and whether I was right about the mystery (I was), and I did like the ending. There was an astonishing lack of communication and Fran was very selfish not trying to connect with Jenna growing up.

She is twelve years older than her sister Jenna, a clone of, though much nicer than, their mother, a force to be reckoned with. The man behind the retreats, Tom Wade was recently released from prison after serving his sentence for the deaths of two people. Fran's time at the retreat in Wales really dragged and felt repetitious with the story becoming a really slow burn to get to the point where we find out what happened to Jenna.

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I also wish it would’ve had more of a gothic horror tone, given the isolated nature of both settings, but at no point was I creeped out. Told in two lines, that of the Gozo retreat and of the current retreat from the point of view of the three women involved, Jenna, Kate and Fran, I kept getting confused about who was narrating and which retreat we were at and who all the other characters were, since some of them changed their names during the Gozo retreat. Note: do not let this put you off from reading “Sleep” or “Strangers” by this author, both are fantastic reads.
