About this listen

The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller!

‘Brilliantly escapist in every way’ Editor’s Choice, The Bookseller

The perfect escape, or the perfect trap?

When a select group of influencers and journalists receive an exclusive invitation to a luxury resort in the Maldives, it seems like the ultimate press trip.

But when the island is cut off during a storm and people start dying, it looks like someone has murder in mind.

Are the guests really who they seem to be, or does each one of them have a secret to hide?

Something they would kill for?

Lose yourself in the latest twisty page-turner from the queen of glamorous crime, Catherine Cooper.

I really liked the story and I listened to the book non stop. I wanted to know what happens next. I have met an Ophelia character in my real life and these people are horrible. Therefore she deserved this and I am happy how the book ended. Thanks

Great story and entertaining

Wonderful listen. Brought back many memories of the Maldives. Loved the characters and the way in which it kept us guessing. First book I have listened to from this author, will definitely be listening to more.
