2000s: The perfect house or the perfect lie?
The Wife’s House
What you need to know before your trail
The moment my husband showed me Cliffside—a sleek and modern glass home perched on the edge of the jagged Big Sur clifftops—I fell in love. And right there and then I made a pact with myself. I am never leaving this house.
But when my husband was killed on the perilous roads leading up to the house, weeks after we moved in, I had a decision to make—leave the home I love and start a new life or stay and shut myself off from the world? I am never leaving this house.
As I pieced together my shattered life, my mind began to play tricks on me. Footsteps along the beach, leading to my home, then blood-red flowers left on my doorstep with a note that read Looking at you. So I retreated back to the safety of my glass refuge once again. I am never leaving this house.
But now, as I stare out of the towering windows of my perfect home, I know there is someone out there staring back. I know that they are watching my every move, waiting to make me pay for my past mistakes.

Travel Guide
Discover the highs and lows of The Big Sur
“This coastline was famous; Big Sur was a magnet for travel bloggers, You Tubers and Instagrammers……”
“The beach was empty, there were no hikers in the woods, at least none that I could see.”
“I found it hard to imagine life back in Britain, even for just a visit. Who wouldn’t want to live there, sol at one with nature? It just might be the most stunning, unspoiled coastline in the world. California was home.”
Carmel by the Sea
The narrators local town where she drives to regularly. It’s 45 minutes from the house and she mentions that no one lives here for convenience.”
