The Surf House by Lucy Clarke

In my opinion...

It is always very exciting to receive a copy of the latest Lucy Clarke novel. I know that I'm going to be transported to a fascinating location with a strong set of characters and a mystery. Even better in a grey February to have a story filled with sun.

So, I set time aside, gave the dogs some chews so that they didn't disturb me and started to read...

This novel is set in Morocco, and as is usual with Lucy Clarke's novels is strongly plotted, it moves at pace with twists and evocative descriptions. The characters are credible, I felt a sense of unease as the story progressed and it was hard to put down.

The sport of surfing is something that Lucy knows well, this is shown in the language used which made the story even more believable.

Published on 27 February, this is going to be a great novel to take on holiday- unless you're going surfing!

Thanks to Harper Collins UK & NetGalley for my ARC

Welcome to The Surf House

Where everyone’s escaping something…

*

High on the cliffs of Morocco, far from the city lights and the souks, stands The Surf House: a sanctuary for travellers 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…

My rating?

A very strong 4 glasses of bubbles for great escapism in a grey month!
