'Brilliant escapism. Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, it had me gripped' Harriet Tyce

IT'S THE PERFECT ESCAPE... UNTIL THERE IS NO ESCAPE

Welcome to Turtle Cove.

A luxury resort surrounded by pristine sea and the dense beauty of the jungle, it is the perfect escape from the stresses of life and work. For couples Lou and Adam, Eliza and Noah, a few days spent relaxing on the beach, while their kids are happily distracted, is exactly what they need.

But appearances can be deceiving.

There's a strange tension brewing at the resort, with relations between the hotel and the locals threatening to spill over into violence. This is nothing though compared to the strained atmosphere between the two families. They haven't been friends for long and they are starting to realise they don't really know each other at all.

Except for one of them. One of them knows another very well.

And they have a score to settle.

This is a first-class, escapist thriller for fans of The SanatoriumThe Hunting Party and The Castaways.

 
 

Review

Brilliant escapism. Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, it had me gripped -- Harriet Tyce, author of Sunday Times bestseller, Blood Orange

Clear your diary, as this taut, compulsive thriller demands to be read in one go - Good Housekeeping

Alice's writing reels you in and doesn't let you go. Full of lies and secrets, The Cove is a gripping thriller and a must-read for 2022 -- Heidi Perks

Taut and tense, this might make you think twice about holidaying with new friends -- Nina Pottell - Prima

A proper page turner - Heat

A paradise island. A fabulous family holiday. But dark secrets and murky truths lie beneath the crystal clear waters. Alcohol and simmering resentments are an explosive mix in this tense psychological thriller that stops holiday envy in its tracks -- Tina Baker

superbly menacing psychological thriller -- Anna Mazzola

From the first page to the last word Alice Clark-Platts has delivered the perfect thriller; tight, evocative prose, a foreboding sense of place and a tense, unrelenting plot that never takes its foot off the accelerator. As ever, she takes us to the darkest of places and shines her brilliant light on the nuances of being human. Compelling, disturbing and totally unforgettable, I loved it! -- Julietta Henderson, author of The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman

The Cove is a stylish and taut thriller with a sting in its tail. I loved it -- Dawn Goodwin

Another brilliant thriller from Alice Clark-Platts. The Cove stayed with me for days. I can really see it being made into a film -- Tony Mortimer
