Solitude.
Murder.
It's every writer's dream. The chance to get away for a while, to carve out time and space to focus on your craft in a small group of like-minded creatives. And where better to do it than in a sprawling luxury estate in the Catskills? Surrounded by nothing but rugged mountains and wilderness, where not a soul will hear you scream…
When Liv Montgomery is invited on an exclusive, week-long writing retreat, she can't believe her luck. But some of her fellow novice writers are better at spinning a yarn than they seem. And Liv winning a place was certainly no accident. Then the plot takes a turn towards murder, and Liv is found holding the knife…
Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell, The Writers' Retreat is a pulse-pounding tale of obsession, ambition and the dangerous power of the past that will keep you guessing until the final page.
