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 .
