Publisher Description
A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from bestselling thriller writer Keri Beevis
One sister murdered.
One brother jailed.
One love betrayed.
Mead House was once our childhood home. Despite my fears, I always knew we would have to return to face the demons of our past. Back to the place where it happened, to where, as carefree teenagers, we lost our elder sister in the most brutal of circumstances.
As executors of our grandmother’s will, my twin brother, Ollie, and I needed to empty the house for resale. What I didn’t expect to discover was my sister’s secret journal that contained her most private thoughts and shocking dark secrets.
Now I am questioning everything that I saw that night.
Did I get it wrong, who I saw?
Did my evidence send an innocent man, my then boyfriend's brother, to jail for the last 17 years?
I know I have no choice. If I want to find answers, I will have to go back to that fateful night my sister died. When she made her last visit to the summer house.
A tension-packed psychological thriller that will have you gripped.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell.

Customer Reviews
Tense, Immersive & Gripping
Keri Beevis has developed a tense, unsettling and immersive plot with The Summer House. An enticing, dark and passionate chapter one is a great way to reel readers in until...it horribly goes wrong. I loved how the author created multiple narrations across different timelines, which was easy to follow and kept me on my toes. The underlying premise of one sister murdered, one brother jailed. and one love betrayed was skilfully deciphered, with all three elements integrating exceptionally well. The shocking and brutal murder of Camille Hamilton has left deep scars on twins Ollie and Lana. While their relationship starts tense and hostile, the character developments are remarkable. In addition, the long-lost love and the heart-tugging friends-to-lovers story between Xav and Lana beautifully blossomed. The pacing between the multiple sub-plots was well executed. The twists and turns were remarkable, and the breadcrumbs were smartly sprinkled until the shocking reveal! I finished this book in one sitting. Do not skip this one for fans of small towns with themes of lies, secrets and betrayals! A 4.5-star read.
Thank you to NetGalley & Boldwood Books for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
A shocker
Started out ok, but lost its way. I hate giving bad reviews, but this book really needed polishing.
