Two families. One house swap. A vacation to die for.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find a photograph that shatters everything…

Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded but I’d recognise him anywhere. The man is my husband.

But we’ve never met the family we’ve swapped homes with and my husband swears it isn’t him in the photo. He’s lying. We argue on the balcony with the sun setting behind us and I storm out.

When I finally calm down enough to go back to the villa to confront him, I find him sprawled across the veranda… dead.

Why would someone kill my husband? Am I in danger? And how well did I really know the man I married?


Shalini lives in Dorset, England with her husband, two children and Jess, their cheeky terrier cross. Before kids, she was signed to Universal Music Publishing as a singer songwriter, but now she spends her days writing suspense thrillers (in between school runs and hanging out endless baskets of laundry).

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Shalini Boland, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.


Shalini Boland is back with her latest jaw dropping psychological thriller The Family Holiday! She wrote a very unique storyline that had some very shocking twists that I didn’t see coming.


Shalini wrote this book about one of her favorite places in the world-The Amalfi Coast. This place holds a very special place in her and her husband. 


The more I got into this book I totally agreed with Beth that staying in a hotel rather than a house swap was a better idea. The scenery and places they visited were beautiful. However, there were some odd things that went on at that house. I couldn’t stop laughing regarding the pictures that were posted. 


These characters had some juicy secrets they were keeping from eachother! All these secrets lead to some major twists and turns in the storyline. 


The graphic designers for The Family Holiday did a beautiful job on the cover!
