Description
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 . . .

Person
Originally hailing from Leeds, Tom Hindle lives in Oxfordshire with his wife and daughter, an overly opinionated cat and two surprisingly cunning tortoises. He is the author of A Fatal Crossing, The Murder Game, Murder on Lake Garda, Death in the Arctic and A Killer in Paradise - which were all inspired by masters of the crime genre such as Agatha Christie and Anthony Horowitz.
Tom is hard at work on his next murder mystery.
