PRAISE FOR RETREAT * - * Multitalented Krysten Ritter is back with a sexy, breakneck thriller that immerses readers in the sometimes-glamorous and sometimes-deadly life of a con artist.

Ritter can really write - you'll race through Retreat in a day, rooting for its sparky anti-heroine (just try not to drop it in the pool at the jaw-dropping twist) -- ELLERY LLOYD, author of THE CLUB The Talented Mr Ripley meets How to Kill Your Family; this is sharp, funny and has a twist you won't see coming -- EVE KELLMAN, author of HOW TO KILL A GUY IN TEN WAYS Retreat begins by showing what smooth-operating scammer Liz is capable of.

A fiendish tale of trouble in paradise . . . Expertly paced, tightly plotted * LA TIMES * Razor-sharp and utterly shocking -- WENDY WALKER, author WHAT REMAINS A must-read for fans of the popular 'rich people behaving badly' subgenre of thrillers.
