Synopsis

Five years ago, Simone ran away to Thailand. Now she’s back on Willows Ait—and the secrets buried on the island are about to swallow her whole.

Twenty years ago, Simone’s family home on a secluded River Thames island in Teddington, a suburb in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, was the star of a smash-hit TV renovation show. It was hailed as a green, sustainable masterpiece.

But behind the private cable ferry, tall trees, and stone walls, the eco-paradise is literally rotting away. With the TV network returning to film a massive anniversary special, the looming public ridicule drives Simone’s mother to the brink.

Desperate to hide the decay, she blackmails Simone into executing a dangerous insurance fraud scheme before vanishing on a trip to Asia. Then, within twenty-four hours, the plan descends into total chaos. Simone's sister, Tori, dies under suspicious circumstances after a night out in Kingston Upon Thames.

Left entirely alone on a decaying island, Simone sets a dangerous, modified scam in motion. But to pull it off, she must survive a shadowy police unit, organized crime networks, and a ruthless, Viking-obsessed enforcer known as "The Norseman”.

Told partly through unfiltered, raw emails to her absent mother, the dark truth of Simone’s past on a brutal reality TV show begins to unravel.

On Willows Ait, everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. And as family loyalty splinters into betrayal, Simone is forced to answer the ultimate question:

How far would you go to honour a dying wish when nothing is as it seems?

Loosely based around Teddington, Kingston, Richmond, and Rugeley, Willows Ait is a fast-paced, multi-layered psychological thriller packed with jagged twists, dark humor, and a breathless final reveal.

Why thriller readers will love Willows Ait:

• Unique Claustrophobic Setting: A real-feeling, decaying Thames island cut off by a private ferry.
• Complex Anti-Heroine: A gritty protagonist with a dark past in reality TV mixed martial arts.
• Bizarre & Dangerous Villains: Features highly original antagonists, including a reality-show-obsessed enforcer.

Perfect for fans of the dark British suspense and complex mysteries of Mick Herron, Christopher Brookmyre, and Lucy Foley.
