THE RESORT OF THEIR DREAMS.

A DESTINATION TO DIE FOR...

Welcome to paradise!

Or so the staff say when they greet the Hamiltons at the idyllic Asana Fushi resort in the Maldives.

And it starts off that way: champagne picnics on powder-white sand, snorkelling in the serene blue sea and moonlit walks under the stars.

But lies lurk beneath the luxury because each of the guests has a secret, and they're not the only ones.

How can a once-in-a-lifetime trip turn into the holiday from hell?

From the author of THE BEACH PARTY comes a novel of sun, sea and secrets for fans of ONE OF THE GIRLS and WHITE LOTUS.

Someone please remind me never to go on holiday with Nikki Smith, as she seems to have a knack of turning gorgeous holiday destinations into brilliantly dark and twisty stories! 

And for a book set on Maldives, well let's just say you don't expect everyone on this island to be hiding things in ways that interlink. 

Much less the sinister nature of some of these secrets, and as the story unfolds you can see just what lengths one family will go to, to protect either other, or themselves. 

Everything is so vividly described, I could see it all so clearly, and I couldn't get enough of this story. I was totally hooked. 

And it really is a paradise resort as a setting, and in other circumstances would be a hotel that I would love to visit. 

It's another hit novel from this talented author, that I have devoured every word of it, and still would like more. 

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
