About this listen

THEY TOLD THE POLICE IT WAS THE PERFECT SUMMER. THEY WERE LYING.

August, 1997. Matilda is killed in a tragic accident on the Dorset rocks, leaving her best friend Sophie alone, wracked with guilt.

Decades later, Sophie is back for the first time since that terrible summer, to sell her family's old beach hut and bury the memories forever.

But on clearing out the hut, she finds evidence that Matilda's death was no accident. What really happened the night she died?

As Sophie edges closer to the truth, the past starts to close in on the present.

Because the close-knit community is still home to a killer, and they want Sophie gone.

The Beach Hut kept me hanging on, desperate to find out what happened that summer of 1997 and all the secrets that lay beneath the surface at the beach. Well written, brilliantly plotted and keenly paced, I couldn't believe this was a debut book, the author was so skilful at keeping the intrigue levels up. An easy five stars.

Haunting, chilling, emotive book - had me hooked!

a death that prompter exploring a coming of age story and a 30 something discovering herself. Well read and a story that wad claustrophic in setting but surprisingly pacey in the narrative. excellent as a debut novel and a satisfying ironic end - may the reader/listener understand!
