Is it ever a good idea to go on holiday with friends?

Darcy, Camilla and Kate have each come on this trip of a lifetime for a reason - to celebrate a divorce, to find love, to try to put a traumatic past behind them.

Their dream getaway? The Sapphire Island Resort in the Maldives. With crystal-clear waters and sun-drenched white sand beaches, relaxation is guaranteed.

But all is not as it seems in paradise, and this is no ordinary friendship.

They've got nine days to go . . . and old wounds are already reopening.

Will they all make the return journey?

I do enjoy a destination thriller and this one is set to the glorious backdrop of The Maldives. 

So you have luxury accommodation, bright blue skies, fabulous excursions, but at the same time, its remote enough that it seems to be an increasingly popular island chain for murder!

Darcy, Camille and Kate are on a holiday to celebrate Darcy's divorce, they seem on the surface an unlikely group of friends, but as the story progresses we learn a whole lot of about them. 

They are rather interesting people, and we also get to meet Jade, who is there on her honeymoon.  However Jade is also hiding secrets. 

There is a whole lot going on in this rather more-ish book, and I was delighted to have a front row seat to see how it would all unravel. 

Full of secrets and intrigue, this is a really good example of the genre. 

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