It seems like a lovely little house. But it has dark secrets.

Karen is a busy wife and mother. Between work, her husband Peter, and their two children, Oscar and Noah, she doesn't have a minute to herself.

So when it all begins to feel too much, Karen knows just what she needs - to get away for a little while. Nothing big. Just a short break.

Her friend, Eve, tells her about a quaint little holiday home, and Karen books herself a short stay. She'll have time to read, take bubble baths, unwind. Perfect.

But this is no ordinary holiday home – it contains a dark and disturbing secret. Because Karen isn't alone here – someone is watching her. Waiting for the right moment to spring the trap and plunge her into a nightmare she'll never forget.

The Break – the stunning psychological thriller from the author of The Passenger and The New Friends
