Summary

The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller!

‘Brilliantly escapist in every way’ Editor’s Choice, The Bookseller

The perfect escape, or the perfect trap?

When a select group of influencers and journalists receive an exclusive invitation to a luxury resort in the Maldives, it seems like the ultimate press trip.

But when the island is cut off during a storm and people start dying, it looks like someone has murder in mind.

Are the guests really who they seem to be, or does each one of them have a secret to hide?

Something they would kill for?

Really enjoyable

I almost didn’t purchase this as it’s my first experience with this author and the only review was 3 stars.

I’m glad I took a chance because I’m really enjoying the whole experience. Storyline, characters and voice actor.

Great story and entertaining

I really liked the story and I listened to the book non stop. I wanted to know what happens next. I have met an Ophelia character in my real life and these people are horrible. Therefore she deserved this and I am happy how the book ended. Thanks

Wonderful listen. Brought back many memories of the Maldives. Loved the characters and the way in which it kept us guessing. First book I have listened to from this author, will definitely be listening to more.
