The BRAND NEW deliciously dark thriller from Sarah Bonner, bestselling author of How to Slay at Work! Must-read for fans of Katy Brent, Bella Mackie and Julie Mae Cohen ☀️🏝️

You’d kill for a holiday like this one…

Chloe has spent months planning the murder of her husband, Scott. Everything is ready, but first she must create the perfect alibi to avoid any suggestion of her involvement in his death. And what better way to avoid suspicion than playing the loved-up wife on an extravagant holiday with their extended families?

A luxury villa on the Greek island of Mykonos should provide the ultimate setting for her week of make-believe married bliss. But as the sun sets on their first evening in paradise, the cracks in Chloe’s plan begin to show. Family rivalries bubble to the surface. Scott’s sister, Tori, begins to ask awkward questions, suggesting she might know more about Chloe’s plans than she should. Then there’s the villa concierge, Grace, who is watching her guests’ every moves.

As tensions rise, can Chloe manage to keep her murderous intentions hidden? And can she stop herself from adding a few more people to the body count along the way?

You won't be able to stop reading this twisty, darkly funny crime thriller!

Having read some of Sarah’s other work, and being a fan of the Greek islands, I was looking forward to this, but sadly the narration (especially Tori’s) was almost unbearable. Tori was written as a bit of a wild child, and spoilt brat, but the narrator was dry and uninspiring.

Plot was fine but I found myself tuning out at times, I would have enjoyed the written version better

Sadly narration let it down

I enjoyed it but the very end didn't add up from things that had been mentioned in the story previously.
I also have to mention the lady who narrated Tori wasn't up to the standard of the other two narrators and it made me aware that I was being read to rather than just listening.
But it was a good story and apart from my two gripes I do recommend it.

Tenter hooks

The narrator of Tori is awful. Commas/inflections in the wrong places- read like she’s going down a shopping list. Just awful as was getting into the story (with Chloe narrator) until the narrator changed- tried to persevere and gave up.

Shame book had been ruined by a Gil narrator.

Can’t listen anymore!

…Tory’s narration is awful if I’m honest. She’s sounds bored and the voice doesn’t fit the character. She’s meant to be in her 20’s but she sounds like a bored 40 year old. There is no range to her voice. It’s only the fact that the story is so interesting that I can power through her bit. The other narrators are very good.

Very good book but…

A great story of when things don’t go according to plan. Great characters, really funny and a good ending.

Interesting characters
