How far will influencer Elle Littlewood go to get her hands on the dilapidated French chateau and protect her brand? A dark voyeuristic thriller from CWA Debut shortlisted author.
'Immersive story, sublime storytelling... top class' Andrea Mara, author of No One Saw a Thing
What you see isn't always what you get.
Elle Littlewood can barely believe her luck when her producer tells her about the chance to get her hands on a dilapidated chateau in Aix-En-Provence, France for a rock bottom price. It seems too good to be true, but as a home interiors influencer, she knows this would make incredible content.
Lately, Elle has noticed the cracks start to show. Her life is the envy of thousands, and her social media posts show a beautiful, accomplished woman. Yet this wasn't always the case. If they knew the truth about her past, they would never look at Elle the same way again.
Elle needs this house. She doesn't care that it comes with huge strings attached. And when people get in her way, there's nothing Elle won't do to protect her brand. After all, she's survived by doing things that people could never imagine - and knows she would do them again.
A dark, voyeuristic and utterly captivating crime thriller that fans of People Like Her and Sun Damage will love from CWA Debut Dagger shortlisted author Amanda Cassidy.
