About this audiobook

This full cast production, featuring Richard Atlee (The Archers) as Perry, brings to life the growing tensions between two polarised communities over one scorching summer.

‘A stylish, sun-soaked thriller... Our Holiday is destined to be THE summer read of 2024’ Janice Hallett

‘A sharp, brilliantly observed novel that had me gasping at every twist and turn’ Sarah Pearse

*

Charlotte and Perry long for summers at Cliff View, their gorgeous holiday home overlooking the turquoise waters of Pine Ridge. And now that city friends Amy and Linus have bought a property nearby, they plan lazy weeks of sun, sea and sipping rosé on Charlotte’s summerhouse veranda.

But there’s trouble in paradise...

A rising tide of resentment towards second-home owners is heading their way and small acts of criminal damage are escalating into something more menacing. By the end of the summer, families and friendships will be torn apart and Pine Ridge will be known for more than its sun-drenched beaches.

It will be known for murder...

This audiobook includes additional performances from Alix Dunmore, Dawn Murphy, George Naylor, Tom Babbage, and Lilly Anne Lefkow, with sound design from the awarding-winning ID Audio.
