Product information
Full publisher description
'Beautifully written, emotionally intelligent.'
Daily Mail
'What separates Thomas' writing from your average domestic drama is its compelling persuasiveness.'
Stylist
ONE PERFECT HOLIDAY. ONE SHOCKING ENDING.
After a stressful year at work, GP Jess decides the family needs a seaside holiday.
This idyllic Dorset cottage might just be the perfect escape. But when the neighbour hints at a dire predicament, Jess puts the idea of sun-kissed, sandy bliss on hold. Like a door nudged ajar, the lure of solving someone's problems invites her in.
Fuelled by a heady rush of altruism, she decides to act - a choice that will have unforgettable, potentially devastating consequences.
Readers are gripped by The Family Retreat:
***** 'What a fantastic read. I could not put it down!'
***** 'A fantastic twist. . . I was completely hooked.'
***** 'The plot was riveting.'
***** 'An absolutely perfect summer read. I honestly couldn't put it down.'
***** 'Read it on the beach, in the bar, en route to the airport, even in the queues at check in & passport control!'
