I just finished a good book. The Getaway by Rona Halsall is available soon and is one you should put on your list.

Maddie and tom take a trip to Croatia. Maddie meets Alex and Ed who propose a house switch so Maddie can enjoy the beach a little longer. It doesn’t take long for Maddie and Tom to realize something isn’t right. As Toms past comes back to get him, Maddie will find she is fighting for her life. Great suspense! Great book!

Tom and Maddie swap their London home with digital nomads Ed and Alex. Soon enough, strange things start to happen. Are Ed and Alex who they say they are? Is Maddie too close to the truth?

The Getaway is an explosive read, wow!

I loved the narrative, it was so visual, like being there with all the characters, witnessing all the twists and turns. The ending was satisfying.

A lovely getaway read!

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Getaway by Rona Halsall due to be published July 25, 2025.

Maddie and her long-term boyfriend, Tom, decide to swap houses with Alex and Ed for a couple weeks. What could go wrong?

Wow! What couldn’t?! Although this one started slow and predictable, I never saw the end coming at all – what a surprise! I wasn’t sure who to trust and who to be afraid of throughout the entire book – my kind of thriller. Hopefully, you will love it as much as I did!

Maddie and her long-term boyfriend, Tom, dream of a life living and working abroad, though right now they’re settling for a lovely vacation in the sunny European beach town. When Maddie is befriended by a lovely-seeming couple, who are living the digital nomad lifestyle, they make her an offer that feels hard to refuse! Swap houses, swap lives just for a couple of weeks and see if living abroad is a lifestyle that would really suit them. But as soon as they’ve handed keys over to their home in London, it becomes clear the couple aren’t who they’d seemed to be. And Maddie and Tom’s dream getaway is about to become a nightmare they could never have imagined…. Great chilling thriller! This book had chilling suspense, murder, dark secrets, intrigue, gaslighting, and some chilling moments! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This was a heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat! It was fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that was extremely well executed. I was gripped from the very first page!

I loved the characters and the storyline. I recommend reading this book straight away definitely 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book had it all it was a wild ride of lies and deceit that had many twists and turns which lead to a great but shocking finale!

I can't recommend it enough! I really enjoyed this book, I couldn't put it down, I finished it in a couple of days!

Wow!

I am forever saying I have read this authors best book but then the next book comes along and I say it again…

This though is a mind blowing cleverly crafted at times dark thriller that looks at the relatively new phenomenon of ‘Digital Nomads’ and in this case how it can be used for bad

We meet Tom and Maddie who are holidaying in Croatia and Maddie meets Alex and a friendship blossoms, Alex explains re her and her partner Ed’s ‘Digital Nomading ’ lifestyle and Maddie is sold on the idea….maybe more sold than sense should allow, things that sound perfect very rarely are

Then we are flung into a who is guilty/ who is innocent page turner that really had me flummoxed as to who was doing what and why and who was being honest, it was full on and up until the last chapter was not completely sure

Really imaginative writing and a new twist on things, very enjoyable read that kept me on my toes throughout

The Getaway by Rona Halsall,, Maddie is on holiday with her partner Dan who she’s been with for years but she’s eating breakfast alone when she meets a woman named Alex. is Alex explained to Maddie that her and her partner Ed or digital nomads and have lived all over the world Maddie can’t help but to admit she too has recently thought of doing this. Later on when Alex tells Maddie they must leave Croatia to tend to her mom who found out she has cancer but would love to offer Maddie and Dan their sublet Maddie couldn’t be more excited although Dan is hesitant. Maddie convinces dan, it’s a great idea after all it’s free and they would lose nothing by staying I mean what could go wrong? it turns out lots of things could go wrong before Maddie even leaves Croatia while Alex and Ed are making their selves at home in her London flat she learns Alex already new Tom but why is she doing this and who is Ed? All those questions are answered by the end of the book and OMG what an awesome thrill ride this was. I received the book this afternoon and I opened it just to peruse the beginning pages and found myself not stopping until the book was over it is that freaking good. this book was so good I just sent my husband out to get takeout because I was not stopping to start cooking. This was an awesome awesome read I love this authors books and have read many of them and I must say it seems they just get better and better. once you open this book make certain you have time to read because it is so good and Maddie is such a great person to root for something I look for and all books and she was definitely the one. There’s so much more I want to say as I always do in a review but don’t want to give any plot points away because it was so so good! A book I absolutely definitely 100% recommend to any thriller fan if you like books by Frida McFadden, the you will definitely love this one. #NetGalley, #BoldWoodBooks,#TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview, #RonaHalsall, #TheGetaway,
