They are a likeable couple.  He is actually more attractive than she is, which is what he wants.  He doesn't want people to remember her.  They have an unusual profession. They are grifters currently operating in France. They are very good at what they do.  After all, he has trained her well.  She chooses their next victim, but she becomes uneasy when he seems too interested in her. Has he taught her too well?

Nine people meet in a rental house in Joining them Provence for a scheduled vacation.  Some are family and some are friends.  The only person they don't know well is Lulu, the woman who has been hired as a chef.  Readers will spend much of the time reading this book wondering: How are all these people connected? On the surface, the guests seem nondescript.  But don't be fooled, they are not.

Well plotted, every aspect of SUN DAMAGE by Sabine Durrant is captivating.  The characters are flawed and their most interesting attributes are their secrets.  Lulu's secrets just might be her undoing and with atmospheric tension throughout, the narrative moves quickly. How long can all these secrets stay hidden away?

I found SUN DAMAGE to be an excellent psychological thriller.  It holds the reader's attention from the start to the unique conclusion. As for Lulu, she is one of the most complex characters I have ever encountered. Highly recommended.
