Review of eGalley

A man’s body floats in the ocean. Who is the one responsible?

For newly-divorced Darcy, hopeful author Kate, and fitness influencer Camilla, vacationing at Sapphire Island Resort in the Maldives, the discovery of the body brings back the horrors of twenty-two years earlier. And now, a killer has tainted the fresh start they’d promised themselves when they’d embarked on this trip.

Who is the killer? And who is next?

=========

Alternating chapters tell the past and present of Darcy, Kate, and Camilla as well as Jacob, Jade, Charlie, and Hugh, providing the backstories for the characters and ensuring that each is well-drawn and nuanced. Anchored by the strong sense of place, the telling of this traumatic tale is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats until they’ve turned the final page.

With everyone holding secrets, it isn’t long before things begin to unravel, but many of the plot twists and turns are so surprising they are likely to leave readers feeling a bit astounded. Filled with suspense, tension, and mystery, the telling of this chilling tale keeps readers guessing as unexpected revelations change everything they believe they know.

Recommended.

The only disappointment with the book is the use of an unnecessary expletive certain to offend many readers; its overuse lowers the rating for the book.

I received a free copy of this book from Avid Reader Press, Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster and NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
