Perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty, Lucy Foley and Lisa Jewell, The Pool Party is an addictive thriller that lifts the lid on a seemingly perfect world. When Kate moves to the idyllic village of Fletching, she quickly bonds with Melody, a fellow school-gate mum. But after a near-fatal accident at a summer pool party, long-buried secrets begin to surface and threaten to destroy both families.

About The Temptation Test – Rachel North
ER Doctor Dev Balakrishnan is late for work when he sees her: slumped on the curb like a broken doll, covered in blood. Everyone else walks on by. Not Dev. He saves people’s lives every day, but Brooke is different: prey one minute, predator the next. As she spins her web of stories Dev finds himself hopelessly caught up in her world of danger and deceit. Brooke will test Dev in ways he never dreamed of. Whether he passes or fails will become a matter of life and death – for both of them.
