The absorbing new psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Betrayals and The Good Girl

The Sawyer family were meant to have the adventure of a lifetime during their summer holiday at an experimental eco-community in one of England's most ancient forests, led by the enigmatic Mo. For Cass, the eldest Sawyer sibling and a lonely and unhappy teenager who is desperate to belong, The Haven proves a seductive alternative to life back home.

But what starts as a sweetly idyllic alternative retreat quickly turns dark as it becomes clear her father, Rick, doesn't intend them to leave. When the family fails to return from their holiday, Cass's aunt raises the alarm and reports them missing to the police.

As the search widens, and the investigation reveals Rick's obsessive and bullying nature, there are more questions than answers about the disappearance of the family. Have they come to harm in The Haven, or do they just not want to be found?

Praise for The Haven

The Haven is a smart, fierce thriller about an unravelling family, a corrupted utopia, and the wild hearts of teenage girls. I couldn't look away

Lauren Beukes, internationally bestselling author of The Shining Girls

The Haven is a taut and propulsive story of a family in crisis, a shattering of innocence, and a savage fight for survival. I couldn’t put it down.

Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Perry

Fiona Neill has the sharpest eyes and ears for the nuance of family dynamics and of teenagers in particular and The Haven is a brilliant character led thriller that explores universal issues.

Lisa Jewell, Number One bestselling author of The Family Upstairs
