From the author of Buried Deep comes a brand-new thriller about a summer vacation turned deadly and a group of friends trapped together until they can determine who among them is capable of murder.
Every year, Caroline Reed takes a trip with her best friend, Esme Lamont. They’re usually accompanied by their spouses – but this year, everything’s changed.
Esme has just gone through a bitter divorce, and Caroline is wondering if her own marriage is reaching its breaking point as she and her husband, John, cope with the discovery that their 19-year-old son has been abusing drugs. Still, the inseparable duo books a weeklong stay at a beach-front home in Shoreham, Florida, inviting Esme’s brother, Nick, and his new husband, Ford, in hopes that the additional guests will help lighten the mood.
After a blissful first night in the vacation home, tragedy strikes, and one of the houseguests is found dead. While it’s assumed at first to be a horrific accident, it quickly becomes clear that there’s something more sinister at play, and over the course of this fast-paced, deeply chilling novella, the potential motives of each guest are revealed – until a shocking conclusion is reached.

Great Read
Another page turner from Margot Hunt. I love her style of writing, and leading us on until the very end.

quick on your toes read!
This was a short but sweet novella, with some twists and turns and every member of the cast looking like a potential suspect. Where I think this could have developed into a book is where the novella left us hanging on a cliff hanger. Iâd recommend as a read to someone who is comfortable with a not so clear ending.

Book Review:
This was a quick read and a good mystery….Actually, I thought from the beginning who murdered the victim….Then I started having doubts because of all the other factors that played into it …..I enjoyed the book ….

Twisted.
Audible ReviewOverall 3 out of 5 starsPerformance 2 out of 5 starsStory 3 out of 5 starsWith a twist!I have to say, this one took me by surprised, but maybe it shouldn’t have.The narration was disappointing, especially seeing now that it was performed by an actress- I didn’t realize who she was when I started. She didn’t distinguish between characters at all, so it was hard to tell at times which one was speaking. You’d think someone who acts for a living would have done a better job.

Ok
I didn’t realize this book was short. It was 89 pages, but by the time I noticed I’d already read over half. It was pretty good, but I’m angry it ended too soon and too abruptly. There’s not enough of anything! Not enough to get a true assessment of the characters, not enough build up, nothing. Disappointed.
