A retreat doesn't always mean safety... Following the death of her
husband, Emily is happy to find herself surrounded by friends and
fellow Oxford peers at the rustic Chalet des Anglais in the French
Alps. With no electricity, running water, or access by car, surely
this trip will offer her the time and space she needs to heal. But
before she makes it to the airport, Emily interrupts a break-in at
her home, and on the first night at the chalet, she discovers an
inappropriate sexual liaison between an undergrad and a colleague.
When the student suddenly disappears, and Emily sees her deceased
husband's number in her call history, she realizes she had better
figure out who she can trust - or the next disappearance may be her
own...

It was meant to be the perfect holiday for six British gradates.
But then she arrived, lithe and tanned, by the pool one hot
afternoon. Severine - the girl next door. As her beauty captivates
each of them, tensions begin to boil over, and years of jealousy
and longing rise to the surface. And then she disappears. A decade
later, Severine's body is found. For Kate Channing, the discovery
brings up more than just unwelcome memories. As the layers of
deception reveal themselves and police suspicion mounts, Kate must
ask if she really wants to know what happened to the French girl...
A Goodreads 'Mover and Shaker' for summer 2019 The French Girl
captivated readers with a twisting tale of psychological suspense.
Now, author Lexie Elliott heads to the foothills of the Scottish
Highlands, where a woman's tangled family history comes back to
haunt her... Some doors should stay locked... _____________________
An eerie old Scottish manor in the middle of nowhere that's now
hers. Ailsa Calder has inherited half of a house. The other half
belongs to a man who disappeared without a trace twenty-seven years
ago. Her father. Travelling back to her childhood home, which sits
nestled amongst the craggy peaks of the Scottish Highlands, Ailsa's
past threatens to swallow her whole. And she can't escape the
claustrophobic feeling that the house itself is watching her. So
when Ailsa encounters an intruder in the dead of night, it becomes
apparent that behind the manor's careless, rugged beauty lies a
very real threat...
She appears, lithe and tanned, by the swimming pool one afternoon.
Severine - the girl next door. It was supposed to be a final
celebration for six British graduates, the perfect French getaway,
until she arrived. Severine's beauty captivates each of them in
turn. Under the heat of a summer sky, simmering tensions begin to
boil over - years of jealousy and longing rising dangerously to the
surface. And then Severine disappears. A decade later, Severine's
body is found at the farmhouse. For Kate Channing, the discovery
brings up more than just unwelcome memories. As police suspicion
mounts against the friends, Kate becomes desperate to resolve her
own shifting understanding of that time. But as the layers of
deception reveal themselves, Kate must ask herself - does she
really want to know what happened to the French girl?
