From Little Stack
Whenever I ask for new thriller recommendations, Lucy Clarke always comes up! Her books are described by Gillian McAllister as, “Escapist, thrilling, unforgettable,” and she’s described by Claire Douglas as, “The Queen of the destination thriller.” Lucy just has to be on this list!
The Surf House is a sanctuary for travellers chasing sunshine and waves, high on the cliffs of Morocco, but the idyll hides a dark mystery. When Bea washes in seeking refuge, she soon gets caught in the current. Somewhere inside The Surf House lies the truth, but there’ll be a price for uncovering it… A gripping, escapist crime drama for your TBR.
Welcome to The Surf House, where everyone's escaping something . . .
Lucy Clarke writes intoxicating, unsettling novels of suspense, deception, and the pleasure and danger of travel. Her daring new novel, The Surf House, is a sun-soaked thriller set in an expat community of surfers in Morocco where deadly secrets threaten to breach the surface.
High on the cliffs of Morocco, far from the city lights and the souks, stands The Surf House: a sanctuary for travelers chasing sunshine and waves. But the idyll hides a dark mystery. And when Bea washes in, seeking refuge after a dangerous encounter in Marrakesh, she soon gets caught in the current. A woman her age—who stayed in the same area, walked the same beaches, met the same guests—disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without trace. Somewhere inside The Surf House lies the truth—but there'll be a price for uncovering it.
In this darkly seductive and compulsive tale, The Surf House's warm and comforting refuge increasingly takes on the paranoid aspect of a house of mirrors. As Lucy Clarke's authoritative voice guides us through its shifting sands, The Surf House reaffirms her as a novelist at the height of her powers and announces her excellence to new readers who have not yet embarked on one of her searing thrillers.
