| book description |
In the heat of summer, the past can become hazy. . . For twenty years, Nina Drayton has told herself that she must have seen her sister, Tamara, being murdered by the family babysitter – Josie Jackson. That she doesn’t remember it because she was five, and amnesia is a normal trauma response. But now, with the anniversary of Tamara’s death approaching and true crime investigators revisiting the case, Nina finds it harder to suppress her doubts. Returning to her family’s sparkling villa on the Cote d’Azur for the first time since the murder, she wants to uncover more about the summer that changed so many lives. Because if she was wrong, then she sent an innocent woman to jail – and the real killer is still walking free. Lyrical, suspenseful and sultry, this dark examination of the fragile nature of memory is vivid and thought provoking, with all the tension and heat of a moody summer evening. Praise for Katie Bishop and High Season 'A beautiful, intricate mystery that tests the strength of memory and time . . . Complete with an exotic setting, flawed and complex characters, and spellbinding prose, High Season is an absolute masterpiece.' - Sara Ochs, author of The Resort 'I found myself devouring this tale of privilege, loss, and the slippery nature of memory. The setting is so perfectly rendered that you can almost taste the saltwater' - Ella Berman, author of Reese Witherspoon Book Club-pick Before We Were Innocent 'Beautifully written, transportive, and thought-provoking...sizzles with suspense.' - Lucy Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Castaways, on The Girls of Summer 'Startling...packs an incredible punch.' - The Times 'Lures you in then shakes you up.' - Nikki May, author of This Motherless Land
