Synopsis
A simmering summer thriller about the choices you make as a teenager – and what happens when they go horribly wrong . . .
Meet Rachel: an unassuming young woman from a quiet London suburb.
Picture the scene: a summer job at the beautiful Villa Medici in the Tuscan hills. A group of glamorous teenagers, used to a life of privilege. Lavish parties, heady sun-soaked days, backstabbing and bedhopping.
Until someone goes too far.
And nothing will ever be the same . . .
Out Of Her Depth is a gripping psychological thriller that masterfully blends the charm of an Italian summer with the darkness of a mystery from the past. Lizzy Barber's writing has been praised as 'sublime' by Lesley Kara, author of The Rumour, and this Richard and Judy Book Club pick is perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith and Louise Candlish.
Readers are raving about Out Of Her Depth:
'Really believable characters, a great plot, a wonderful setting . . . felt like I was in Italy soaking up the sun'
'A tantalisingly written suspense . . . and a premise that delivers. Delicious.'
'A terrific page turner with themes of those with privilege versus those without'
'One of those totally addictive psychological thrillers that has you reading 'just one more page' and ignoring everything else you need to do until you finish it'
