The Holiday Home by Daniel Hurst [Audiobook]


🎤🎤🎤 Narrated by Zoë Mills and Richard Burnip🎤🎤🎤

Description from Goodreads:

"The perfect holiday or the perfect nightmare

I sit sipping champagne in the warm water, bubbles frothing around me as I admire the breath-taking view of gorgeous blue skies and mountains. I can’t believe I’m here, at this stunning holiday home. It’s to die for…

My best friend and her husband have invited me and my family to their lakeside property for the weekend, to experience their luxury lifestyle. I’m not envious of their wealth, although I know my husband Ryan is. All I want is to escape from our recent troubles and get my marriage back on track.

Then I overhear Ryan having a whispered conversation late one evening, and he says something that sends a shiver down my spine. In this beautiful paradise my whole world is turned upside down.

Just when I think things can’t get any worse, I discover a second secret. The truth is even more shocking than I imagine, and now I have no idea who to trust.

This was meant to be the perfect holiday, but someone isn’t going to survive it…"

I have listened to one of Daniel's previous books, The Couple in the Cabin, and really enjoyed it but this just didn't hit the spot for me unfortunately.

Nicola and her family have been invited to spend the weekend with her best friend and her family in their luxurious but isolated cabin in the wilds of Scotland but things soon go awry when Nicola overhears something that turns the idyllic weekend break into a nightmare.

Sounds good doesn't it ... well, it started off well and although I didn't really get on with any of the characters, it didn't really bother me but as the story progressed, it became a little predictable and I wasn't overly surprised or enthralled by how it developed.

The narrators did a great job and did try to bring tension and excitement to the story but, alas, it didn't really work for me but it won't put me off reading or listening to Daniel's books in the future; this one was just didn't work for me unfortunately.

My thanks go to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Holiday Home.
