A compelling and hypnotic domestic noir novel in which a house swap becomes the eerie backdrop to a crumbling marriage and tantalizing affair, and the fatal consequences that unfold. Be careful who you let in . . . When Caroline and Francis receive an offer to house swap--from their city flat to a townhouse in a leafy, upscale London suburb--they jump at the chance for a week away from home, their daughter and the tensions that have pushed their marriage to the brink. The house is stark, pared back and almost sinister in its emptiness: a blank canvas upon which they can try to start again, and rebuild what has been lost between them. But slowly, Caroline begins to uncover some signs--signs that connect to her life. The flowers in the bathroom and the music in the CD player might seem innocent to anyone else--but to her they are clues. It seems the person they have swapped homes with is someone who knows her, who knows the secrets she'd hoped to forget . . .

"LIKE SINKING INTO QUICKSAND, THIS NOVEL IS DELIGHTFULLY INESCAPABLE." Four friends discover that the house swap holiday they thought they booked in the beautiful seaside town of Barton-on-Sea is actually in an entirely different place, also named Barton; a seedy, corrupt slum filled with dark and crooked inhabitants. They decide to stay one night to try it out but one night is more than enough to begin their grisly transformations, as each of the friends changes into one of the people who live there. This isn't the end as they find their minds shifting too, to match their new identities. It becomes a race against time as the four friends struggle to reverse the changes that have occurred before it's too late. Before they lose themselves completely. Something strange is going on in Barton but the more they investigate the closer they come to realising that the secret of their dark transformations may be too big for them to conquer. There may be no way back. "A REALLY UNEXPECTED ENDING"
