Description
Your dream trip or your worst nightmare...
The holiday is finally here - a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he calls you from the beach, you know something is very wrong.
The beautiful waitress from last night has been found dead. And the police want to question him about it. Sure, you saw him glance her way, but you know he didn't kill her. So why is he asking you to lie to the police? And where was he when he disappeared last night?
He accuses you of being jealous, as always. Yes, the waitress was flirting with him, but you didn't actually wish her harm. Not really.
Can you trust the man you married... or are you the one who can't be trusted?A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will have you turning the pages all night long! Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Hunting Party, and The Girl on the Train.
