About this ebook

THE GRIPPING NEW MURDER MYSTERY FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

‘The perfect crime novel’ Janice Hallett
‘Tremendously engaging.’ Vaseem Khan

The trip of their dreams is about to end in murder.

When five old friends are invited to join Abigail Blythe at the launch of her luxury hotel in the Costa Rican rainforest, they jump at the chance to spend a week in paradise.

None of them have heard from Abigail since the summer they went backpacking in Central America as students – a trip that ended in disaster for one member of the group. . .

Ten years may have passed, but old rivalries are never far from the surface. So when a body is discovered during the hotel’s launch event, it soon becomes clear that one among them must be responsible.

Someone is desperate to keep an old secret hidden – whatever the cost . . .

I enjoyed this and was hooked however, without giving anything away, I did find most of the "twists" a little obvious. Not sure if that was intentional or not. Still enjoyable though
