The Retreat

Some secrets refuse to stay buried...

For Kate Adams, her birthday weekend at the exclusive wellness retreat, The Sanctuary, was meant to be perfect-beautiful vineyards, luxurious spas, and her closest friends gathered to celebrate her special day. But perfection was always just an illusion.

Still haunted by the recent death of her twin brother, Kyle-a tragedy for which she secretly blames herself-Kate is desperate to hold together the pieces of her unraveling life. But beneath smiles and laughter, dark truths are simmering: secrets of infidelity, jealousy, and hidden desires.

When tensions erupt, and one of their group disappears, Kate's meticulously planned weekend spirals into chaos. As her friends vanish one by one, paranoia sets in. Who is behind these disappearances? And can she truly trust those closest to her?

With twists that will leave readers breathless, nothing is as it seems-and by the final page, the truth will shock you.

When friendships unravel and trust is lost, how far will someone go to bury the past?

Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and Liane Moriarty, this electrifying thriller will keep you guessing until the very end.
