A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick

Patricia Highsmith meets Louise Candlish in Out Of Her Depth. A simmering summer thriller, set across multiple time periods, about the choices you make as a teenager – and what happens when they go horribly wrong . . .

‘This book is, quite simply, sublime’ – Lesley Kara, author of The Rumour

Meet Rachel: an unassuming young woman from a quiet London suburb.

Picture the scene: a summer job at the beautiful Villa Medici in the Tuscan hills. A group of glamorous teenagers, used to a life of privilege. Lavish parties, heady sun-soaked days, backstabbing and bedhopping.

Until someone goes too far.

And nothing will ever be the same . . .

Readers love Lizzy Barber's Out Of Her Depth:

‘A tantalisingly written suspense . . . and a premise that delivers. Delicious.’
‘A terrific page turner with themes of those with privilege versus those without’
‘One of those totally addictive psychological thrillers that has you reading 'just one more page' and ignoring everything else you need to do until you finish it’

Critic reviews

This book is, quite simply, sublime (Lesley Kara, bestselling author of The Rumour)
A compelling and compulsive read that had me gripped
I can't rave about this book enough. Atmospheric, gripping, pacey and superbly written, Out of Her Depth has everything you want in a novel and more. I absolutely loved it. (Charlotte Duckworth, bestselling author of The Perfect Father)
Page-turning psychological thriller with a beautifully sun-drenched glamorous Tuscan setting
A dark, addictive read, with a real heart at its core. I loved it (Amy Lloyd, bestselling author of The Innocent Wife, on My Name is Anna)
Provides a clever, unexpected solution, by way of some fine writing (The Times, on My Name is Anna)
All stars
Most relevant
I had great expectations for this book but really battled. It was slow going in the beginning and I battled to get into it and then found the protagonist weak and unbelievable as a character. I hung in until the end hoping for some great twist that would make the story worthy of an extra star. Unfortunately the ending, drawn out and equally tedious, was a huge disappointment. I’m hoping I can get my credit back.

This was a painful read
