An electric story of a twenty year old tragedy that lead to the incarceration of one young woman and the death of another.

When Josie returns to her beautiful French resort town, she wants to keep a low profile. Josie spent time in jail and the story behind her time behind bars has resurfaced with the popularity of a True Crime Podcast in the making. The podcast is sure to be a hit as Josie was found guilty based on only one piece of evidence - the testimony of a 5 year old Nina.

Bishop builds story and tension as we hear from Nina, Josie and others involved in the event.
With plenty of flashbacks and fully fleshed out characters, Bishop has created a thrilling story of teenage love, family loyalty and tragedy.

This is another twisty, fast-paced thriller by Katie Bishop. Bishop is master of storytelling and suspense, and High Season kept me guessing until the very end. I highly recommend it.

A special thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Publishing Group for a ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rich people behaving badly in foreign seaside locales is rarely a bad time — of reading, that is. HIGH SEASON, despite being told across dueling timelines, is an easy read, the story unspooling quickly despite its multiple twists and turns. I enjoyed its nod to true crime podcasts and that they’re no more truthful than any other story, and will definitely be looking for more from Bishop.

Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

What happened 20 years ago to a 16 year old in the south France that her twin brother is left to pick up the pieces? What lead up to that day and the consequences that are still presence? Things are not all as it seems.

Lovely writing and intense thrills! This entertaining book is set over two summers two decades apart, High Season explores the nature of memory of then six year old, Nina. Now 26, Nina is not sure of what she saw the night her sister died. Thrilling and fast paced — this is a must read!
