Description

Dream vacation . . . or holiday from hell? A steamy and suspenseful thriller, full of family scandal and murder. This is The White Lotus meets Gossip Girl. A standalone follow up to How the Other Half Die.

The truth hurts. But lies can kill . . .

Party girl Nia has never had a real family. The only place that's felt like home is Snarehill Estate, her distant grandfather's luxurious safari resort. Nia is desperate to run Snarehill, so her grandfather begrudgingly gives her one week to prove herself as manager, or he will sell up.

Nia plans the perfect stay for her guests, including getting an actual duke, Alex, to pose as her boyfriend. But Alex falling for her friend Emily was not on the agenda. Nor was Nia still having feelings for Theo, the boy who broke her heart. And when it seems someone is trying to sabotage her, Nia takes matters into her own hands . . .

It's the chance of a lifetime, but is it worth killing for?

Tropes include:
· Enemies-to-lovers
· Fake dating
· Murder mystery
· Haves and have nots

House of Books & Friends is overjoyed to welcome author Marta Perez-Carbonell to discuss her book, ‘I Made You Up Inside My Head’. The event will take place on Wednesday 11th November and will involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance for you to get your book signed by Marta. Marta will be in conversation with lecturer Luis Castellví Laukamp.

This event is in partnership with Instituto Cervantes. 

📕About the book:
On a sleeper train from London and Edinburgh, a woman and two strangers pass the time by telling stories about their lives.

One man reveals the true story behind the novel he wrote: the young man, Hans, who trusted him with intimate details about his life, and whose confidence he betrayed when he converted Hans’s life into fiction for his own gain.

As her cabin-mates reveal that Hans has since disappeared, with foul-play suspected, Alicia becomes gripped by the question of what really happened between the two men. She begins to re-examine her own memories, to try and discern what brought her to this point – and her involvement in the story told that night soon goes beyond a mere observer.

✏️About the author
Marta Pérez-Carbonell was born and raised in Spain and now teaches contemporary Spanish literature at Colgate University in upstate New York; she has also worked as a translator and interpreter. I Made You Up Inside My Head is her first novel.

Then her perfect fiancé Henry deserting her on the day of their wedding, without an explanation. When Ebby arrives in a sleepy French village, she believes she’s found an opportunity for healing and anonymity. Until Henry appears, staying at the neighbouring property with his beautiful new girlfriend in tow.It’s the worst situation that Ebby can imagine.
