The Talented Mr Ripley
in this sun-drenched psychological thriller set against the glittering backdrop of the Amalfi Coast in the sweltering summer of 1961 - where nothing is as it seems...
The perfect couple. Beautiful young bride Clara Carmichael and her wealthy new husband Spencer arrive on the Amalfi Coast. A glorious month of dazzling blue seas, lemon trees heavy with fruit, and their sparkling, marble-clad honeymoon suite stretches ahead of them.
The perfect honeymoon. For the newlyweds, the days slip by in a haze of boat rides, sun-bathing on the private beach, and cocktails beneath a star-studded sky. It's paradise - until a note is slipped under their door, and everything unravels.
The perfect lie? In black ink, the message is He's lying to you. Suddenly, Clara questions everything. Why does Spencer seem so familiar with their hotel? Why does she have the feeling she's being watched?
As she winds through the twists and turns of Amalfi Coast's sun-bleached alleyways and jagged cliffs, Clara is forced to confront the the man she married may not be who he says he is. And the closer she gets to the answers, the more danger she's in.
Seductive, suspenseful and dripping with old-world glamour, this is an addictive story of obsession, betrayal, and the darkness hiding just beneath the shimmering surface.
'Rebecca Taylor McKay has conjured up a slice of perfect intrigue with this sun drenched but dark and unsettling Italian honeymoon thriller . . . This is a superior vintage style thriller.' Chris Bridges
