Welcome to The Surf House
A beautiful guesthouse on the wave-pounded shores of Morocco.
Sparkling seas, bright blue skies, nothing and no-one for miles.
But then you hear the first whisper...
The woman who stayed here before you - who walked the same beaches, met the same guests - disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without a trace.
Every room tells a story.
Every guest hides a secret.
Every holiday has an end.

Person
LUCY CLARKE was inspired to write The Surf House after falling in love with surfing in her thirties and visiting a wild, wave-pounded spot on the Moroccan coast. She is the million-copy-bestselling author of eight other destination thrillers, which include Sunday Times bestseller The Hike, the Richard and Judy Book Club pick, One of the Girls, and The Castaways, which was released as a major international TV series for Paramount+.
When Lucy isn't away on research trips (her favourite part of the job!), she can be found catching waves and writing from a beach hut on the south coast of England. She lives with her husband and their two children.
