Welcome to Paradise!
Or so the staff say as they greet the Hamiltons on the pristine shores of the idyllic Maldives resort.
And it starts off that way: snorkelling in the serene blue sea, champagne picnics on powder-white sand, and moonlit walks under the stars.
But lies lurk beneath the luxury, because each of the guests has a secret... and they're not the only ones.
Months later, a grisly discovery is made.
Whatever happened to the Hamiltons? And how did their once-in-a-lifetime trip turn into the holiday from hell?
From the author of THE BEACH PARTY comes a novel of sun, sea and secrets for fans of ONE OF THE GIRLS and WHITE LOTUS.
