"I absolutely loved Strangers in the Villa! It's clever, intriguing, and deliciously tricky! Filled with suspense, richly layered characters, and shocking twists. An irresistible page-turner from start to finish." ―Liv Constantine, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish
Sydney Lowe’s life in New York is shattered when her husband, Curtis, admits to a meaningless affair with a client. Begging for forgiveness and vowing to prove his devotion, Curtis suggests the couple retreat to a remote hilltop house in Spain to repair their marriage.
High above the Mediterranean, Sydney and Curtis are working on the isolated property and their relationship when a pair of Australian travelers turns up at their door in dire need of help. Lonely for companionship and desperate for free labor, Sydney and Curtis invite the attractive young couple to stay. But as the days pass, dark secrets come to light, the Lowes’ bond is tested, and not everyone will leave the villa alive.
"Robyn Harding is probably among the writers I most recommend, and once again she has excelled herself with damaged and damaging characters wreaking havoc on each other. I loved every page! When can I read the next one?" ―Liz Nugent, internationally bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond

"Cava, sunshine, and secrets—in Strangers in the Villa, Robyn Harding nails the vibe with a lush Spanish setting, a smart, layered structure, and characters so real you’ll invite them over for dinner…and then maybe change the locks. If The Drowning Woman was your kind of thrill-ride, cancel all your plans. This one delivers that same deliciously wicked mix of sharp twists, shifting loyalties, and a creeping sense of danger just beneath the surface."
—Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Expat Affair

A tense story of deception, lies + secrets!
"Canada is home to many amazing suspense authors and Robyn Harding is definitely one of them. In her latest book, Strangers in the Villa, Harding centres her story around a couple whose marriage is on the rocks. Sydney and Curtis decide to buy a large, secluded villa in rural Spain to try and salvage their relationship and start a new life. Their plans get derailed when a young Aussie couple's car breaks down in front of the villa and they ask Curtis and Sydney for help. Wanting to break the growing tension in their home, the couple invites the Aussies inside and this decision sparks a complicated and dangerous situation between the two couples who both have secrets to hide. This is a book that takes its time revealing itself to the reader. I began the book suspecting things weren't as they seemed and was tsk tsking Sydney and Curtis' decision to invite these strangers into their home. But they didn't listen to me. Thank goodness for that because that's when things get going and readers realize that they're in for a wild ride of deception, lies and secrets that this quartet of people want to keep hidden at all costs. I'd suggest going into this book blind. Curl up with your favourite glass of Spanish wine and let the author weave her twisted tale where nothing is at it seems, you're unsure of who you can trust that ends with an oh-so-satisfying conclusion."
