Out Of Her Depth

A Richard and Judy Book Club pick.

Patricia Highsmith meets E. Lockhart in Out Of Her Depth – a simmering summer thriller about the choices you make as a teenager, and what happens when they go horribly wrong . . .

'This book is, quite simply, sublime'- Lesley Kara, author of The Rumour

Meet Rachel.

An unassuming young woman from a quiet London suburb.

Picture the scene:

A summer job at the beautiful Villa Medici in the Tuscan hills.

A group of glamorous teenagers, used to a life of privilege.

Lavish parties, heady sun-soaked days, backstabbing and bedhopping.

Until someone goes too far.

And nothing will ever be the same . . .

Readers love Lizzy Barber's Out Of Her Depth:

‘Really believable characters, a great plot, a wonderful setting . . . felt like I was in Italy soaking up the sun’ *****

‘A tantalisingly written suspense . . . and a premise that delivers. Delicious.’ *****

‘A classic take on the unreliable narrator, a terrific page turner with themes of those with privilege versus those without’ *****

‘This is one of those totally addictive psychological thrillers that has you reading 'just one more page' and ignoring everything else you need to do until you finish it’ *****
