What to expect
Especially when a body washes up on the shore...
But it's impossible to find answers when everyone here has a motive.
The billionaire's daughter, glamorous, untouchable, hungry for her inheritance.
The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.
The young dive instructor, in way over his head and struggling to stay afloat.
The husband, blinded by desire, in all the wrong ways.
And the lover, hidden in the shadows, where no one can see them....
One person's holiday of a lifetime is about to be the last they'll ever have.
Critics Review
-
An exotic thriller with more twists than a dry martini. This destination thriller draws us into the messy lives of both the wealthy guests and the hard-working locals on a remote island resort. There's nowhere to hide as tension heightens between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. Ali Lowe masterfully skewers her characters and their flaws, ensuring a deeply satisfying ending to this twisty murder mystery!

Paradise with a side of poison . . . Ali Lowe is hitting her stride with this expertly woven murder mystery set on a stunning tropical island. Exotic cocktails and swaying palm trees contrast with sharply drawn characters, complex motivations and Ali's trademark dark humour. Compulsive reading with an absolute cracker of a plot
