'Beautifully written, emotionally intelligent.'
Daily Mail

'What separates Thomas' writing from your average domestic drama is its compelling persuasiveness.'
Stylist

ONE PERFECT HOLIDAY. ONE SHOCKING ENDING.

After a stressful year at work, GP Jess decides the family needs a seaside holiday.

This idyllic Dorset cottage might just be the perfect escape. But when the neighbour hints at a dire predicament, Jess puts the idea of sun-kissed, sandy bliss on hold. Like a door nudged ajar, the lure of solving someone's problems invites her in.

Fuelled by a heady rush of altruism, she decides to act - a choice that will have unforgettable, potentially devastating consequences.

Readers are gripped by The Family Retreat:

***** 'What a fantastic read. I could not put it down!'
***** 'A fantastic twist. . . I was completely hooked.'
***** 'The plot was riveting.'
***** 'An absolutely perfect summer read. I honestly couldn't put it down.'
***** 'Read it on the beach, in the bar, en route to the airport, even in the queues at check in & passport control!'
 
 

Review

'I raced through this beautifully written , emotionally intelligent thriller. . . The author was a clinical psychologist in the NHS for years and it shows. Gripping.' - Daily Mail

'A gripping and smart thriller that kept me guessing .Sensitive but not sensationalist, a page turner with an important message, I was hooked.' -- MARISA BATE

'No one describes complex feelings as nimbly as Bev Thomas. In The Family Retreat she creates characters who are all fielding their emotions in different ways. . . Packed with suspense, the story bristles with secrets and emotional insights.Powerful, intelligent writing that tells a timely story, and doesn't miss a beat.' -- Jane Bailey, author of Sorry Isn’t Good Enough

'Thomas joins the ranks of first-rate masters of misdirection who delight in artfully distracting us readers from the terrible truths planted right before our eyes.' - Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post

'What separates Thomas' writing from your average domestic drama is its compelling persuasiveness.' - Stylist

'To write such a captivating, clever, compassionate story and to stimulate readers ... is in my opinion the mark of an author with huge potential.' - Thriller Books Journal
