I’m a huge fan of Louise Candlish’s writing and she has featured here on Linda’s Book Bag many times. Consequently, I’m delighted that my latest online review for My Weekly magazine is of Louise’s latest thriller Our Holiday.

Published by Harper Collins imprint HQ on 4th July 2024, Our Holiday is available for purchase through the links here.

Our Holiday

Charlotte and Perry long for summers at Cliff View, their gorgeous holiday home overlooking the turquoise waters of Pine Ridge. And now that city friends Amy and Linus have bought a property nearby, they plan lazy weeks of sun, sea and sipping rosé on Charlotte’s summerhouse veranda.

But there’s trouble in paradise…

A rising tide of resentment towards second-home owners is heading their way and small acts of criminal damage are escalating into something more menacing. By the end of the summer, families and friendships will be torn apart and Pine Ridge will be known for more than its sun-drenched beaches.

It will be known for murder…

My Review of Our Holiday

My full review of Our Holiday can be found on the My Weekly website here.

However, here I can say that Our Holiday is that it is filled with Louise Candlish’s trademark toxic relationships, unpleasant characters and has a twisty plot that examines the truth behind the veneer of society. It’s a cracker!
