The Holiday by T.M Logan

It was supposed to be the perfect holiday, dreamed up by Kate as the ideal way to turn 40: four best friends and their husbands and children in a luxurious villa under the blazing sunshine of  Languedoc-Roussillon. But there is trouble in paradise. Kate suspects that her husband is having an affair, and that the other woman is one of her best friends. As Kate closes in on the truth in the stifling Mediterranean heat, she realises too late that the stakes are far higher than she ever imagined. Because someone in the villa is prepared to kill to keep their secret hidden
I was hooked onto this book as soon as I read the first page (cliche I know!) but with the description of a body found bleeding and many open wounds without saying who it was, I spent the whole time reading the book waiting to find out who died or will there be more than one?
When Kate finds her husband phone hidden away in a bedside cabinet, with message notification come pinging in, she decides to read the messages and regrets it as she finds her husband Sean is having an affair, and to make it even worse it’s with one of her best friends who is in the same villa? So naturally she starts to wonder who could be playing away with her husband?
Is it Jennifer, Sean first love at uni who was his best ever apparently, which upset Kate at the time but now she’s thinking could they have rekindle their amazing/first love romance? 
Or is it Izzy, who both came from the same area, went to the same high school and briefly dated for a while but never spoke of it since.
Could it be Rowan, who arranged for everyone to stay at the villa in order to show off to Daniel to show what his life could be like, especially after Rowan’s husband declares to Kate he thinks his wife is having an affair. Could it be with Kate’s husband?
Over the week, more and more bad things happen to the families (mainly the children). With little Daniel trying to prove to Jennifer’s two teenage boys he can be part of the gang by doing some things he knows his mother wouldn’t approve of, Lucy seems to be hiding a big secret about something that happened at a party, I wonder what it could be? The adults also seem to be brushing each other the wrong way. 
And the night where Izzy decides to Kate what she knows (is she about to confess?) there is a terrible accident, costing someones life and suspicions rise. Was it an accident or a deliberate murder. Also will Kate find out who her husband is having an affair with?
My thoughts on this book: I loved how each character is written and how they all have their own secrets they’re not sharing with anyone. This book got me thinking the whole time who could be having the affair and what happened to Lucy. 
I will be reccomdending this book to everyone and to all you people who will be reading this blog. Go buy it now! It is released next Thursday in paperback and E-book form: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holiday-T-M-Logan-ebook/dp/B07H3VFNLX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3ICQ8O896RIWC&keywords=the+holiday+tm+logan&qid=1563394585&s=gateway&sprefix=the+holiday+t%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1
