A dream holiday. A fractured marriage. A dangerous secret. When Ryan and Emma Burrows win a luxury holiday to Menorca, it feels like the fresh start their marriage desperately needs. Seventeen nights in a sun-soaked villa with their six-year-old daughter, Callie. What could go wrong? Their neighbours seem friendly enough. Jack and Sheena, with their two young boys, are quick to organise playdates. Max and John, charming and sociable ex-pats, seem eager to make friends. But beneath the surface, tensions simmer. Emma can't shake the feeling that something is off. Then Callie disappears. A ransom demand follows, and suddenly, everyone is a suspect. Secrets from the past rise to the surface, exposing betrayals and lies that threaten to unravel everything. Soon, Emma and Ryan must face the truth about their marriage, their neighbours, and the devastating mistake that could cost them everything... Dark, twisty and utterly addictive, The Villa Next Door is a suspenseful page-turner about trust, betrayal, and the dangerous consequences of long-buried secrets.
