The Greek House

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Highly recommend for your summer reading’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can one house hold a lifetime of secrets?Corfu, 1930

The moment Thirza Caruthers sets foot on Corfu, memories flood back: the scent of jasmine, the green shutters of her family’s home — and her brother Billy’s tragic disappearance years before.

Returning to the Greek house, high above clear blue waters, Thirza tries to escape by immersing herself in painting — and a passionate affair.

But as webs of love, envy, and betrayal tighten around the family, buried secrets surface.

Is it finally time to uncover the truth about Billy’s vanishing?
