The Chateau by Catherine Cooper (HarperCollins UK)

Aura and Nick relocate from England to France, buy an old chateau and start to renovate it on a budget. They meet other expats, try to raise small sons, their renovation is filmed as a documentary, but their marriage is obviously in trouble, their past is a taboo theme, strange things happen in an old chateu and people are just not what they seem to be.

They are on a brink of collapse. And then, the murder happens.

Full of adrenaline, peculiar characters, possible ghosts, danger and twist ending.

Great read, but I liked The Chalet more.

4/5
