WELCOME TO PARADISE!
Or so the staff say when they greet the Hamiltons at the idyllic Asana Fushi resort in the Maldives.
And it starts off that way—champagne picnics on powder-white sand, snorkelling in the serene blue sea 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.
How can a 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.
