The Housesitter

EVERYONE HAS SECRETS.

Em McKinney is just trying to survive the spectacular media frenzy surrounding her divorce to her actor-husband, Callum Walsh. Escaping to her native Australia, Em signs up to housesit a beautiful farm in southern Tasmania, where she hopes to finish the cookbook she’s been dreaming of for years.

Surrounded by loveable dogs, quirky chickens, and Weetbix-loving goats, it’s almost too good to believe. But when a malicious note arrives on her doorstep, along with nosy neighbours, Em’s insecurities begin to weigh in.

When her mother suddenly disappears and the threats escalate, Em must trust in her own instincts - and her friends - if she’s going to uncover who is behind it all.

Everyone has secrets but now someone is out for revenge - and they’re dead set on succeeding.

This incredible page-turning suspense will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves THE HOUSEMAID won’t be able to put THE HOUSESITTER down.
