Description
The perfect getaway - to get away with murder...
Georgie, Lissa and Bronwyn have been best friends since they met on their college swimming team. Now Lissa is dead - drowned off the coast of the remote island where her second husband owns a luxury resort. But could a star open-water swimmer really have drowned? Or is something more sinister going on?
Brought together for Lissa's memorial, Georgie, Bron, Lissa's grieving husband and their friends find themselves questioning the circumstances around Lissa's death - and each other. As the weather turns ominous, trapping the guests on the island, it slowly dawns on them that Lissa's death was only the beginning. Nobody knows who they can trust. Or if they'll make it off the island alive...

Reviews / Votes
Twists, turns, mind games - you'll be suspecting everyone * Women's Weekly * You can hear the surf breaking on every page of this dark tale of intense and complex relationships that twists from gripping secret to secret to an utterly breathtaking ending. You will not be able to put this down. * Sam Blake * A standout thriller - atmospheric, sinister and totally captivating * Alex Lake, bestselling author of After Anna * An intricate, twisting story... a suspicious death is only one of the secrets among a group of old friends on an isolated island. * Shelf Awareness * Elliott ... outdoes herself here... Revelation follows revelation, with the pace increasing as the mysteries pile up, leaving us genuinely shocked at the end. A rousing success * Booklist * Utterly unnerving and completely engrossing * PopSugar * Twisty... Elliott makes her characters feel like real people. Fans of Lucy Foley's The Guest List will be compulsively turning pages. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * Slyly escalating head games that will make you think twice about booking that next getaway * Kirkus Reviews * Elliott's latest is a great thriller with lots of red herrings and a blindsider of a twist ending. * Library Journal * [A] whip-smart tale packed with serpentine twists, simmering resentments, and terrifying surprises. Not only will you want to skip the midnight swim, you may never look at your BFF the same way again. -- Erica Ferencik, author of 'The River at Night'More details
