Description

THEN

It's Rachel's favourite week of the year when the funfair comes to her sleepy seaside town. This year is extra special: it's the last funfair before Rachel and her high-flying friends leave for university. And it's going to be a night to remember.

NOW

Rachel still lives at home. There are rumours about her: how she's a loner, how she was supposed to go places, how she hates the funfair.

When her old friends return to town unexpectedly, Rachel is forced to face up to memories of a night she wishes she could forget. And she's not the only one revisiting the past.

Soon, Rachel finds herself in the House of Horrors once again...

Critic Reviews

Praise for THE BEACH HUT
A compulsive, page-turning thriller - kept me invested and guessing from start to finish. Loved it -- Jennie Godfrey
Atmosphere, intrigue and decades old secrets and lies uncovered on the tide - this novel has it all. -- Sarah Lawton
So beautifully and deftly handled that it's hard to believe this is a debut. The Beach Hut positively sizzles. It's as twisty as a sand worm castle with a plot that sizzles with dread and suspense! -- Tina Orr Munro
Leah has spun a gripping, knotty web of secrets with a cast of complex characters. The setting is wonderful, drawing the reader in . . . before whipping up a storm that brings a cloudy, claustrophobic atmosphere of lies and paranoia that leaves you turning the pages faster and faster. -- Natalie Chandler
A tense and compelling tale of love and loss, secrets, and lies -- and their terrible consequences. Builds to a thrilling ending. I tore through this in two days! -- MK Murphy
