Summary
From the author of Buried Deep comes a brand-new thriller about a summer vacation turned deadly and a group of friends trapped together until they can determine who among them is capable of murder.
Every year, Caroline Reed takes a trip with her best friend, Esme Lamont. They’re usually accompanied by their spouses - but this year, everything’s changed.
Esme has just gone through a bitter divorce, and Caroline is wondering if her own marriage is reaching its breaking point as she and her husband, John, cope with the discovery that their 19-year-old son has been abusing drugs. Still, the inseparable duo books a weeklong stay at a beach-front home in Shoreham, Florida, inviting Esme’s brother, Nick, and his new husband, Ford, in hopes that the additional guests will help lighten the mood.
After a blissful first night in the vacation home, tragedy strikes, and one of the houseguests is found dead. While it’s assumed at first to be a horrific accident, it quickly becomes clear that there’s something more sinister at play, and over the course of this fast-paced, deeply chilling novella, the potential motives of each guest are revealed - until a shocking conclusion is reached.

Short and sweet
Performed well. Nice story. Not wholly unpredictable, but good fun and a worthwhile listen. Recommended.

Disappointing. Don't waste your time!
Another disappointing ending! I don't think I'll be listening to any further audio books by this author. The stories all start out quite promising and immediately engage the listener, however, it seems that the author loses interest as the story unfolds. Perhaps there's a target to churn out a certain number of books, so the author quickly wraps things up without thinking through whether the ending is going to be plausible.
In this case, we don't even get a proper ending. Sucks!!

Ok for a quick listen
Not bad but I’m glad it was short and I was just filling in the gap while I decided which book to listen to next.

Monotone narrator and obvious murderer
This wasn't a bad story, just a bit predictable. The narrator sounded like she was half asleep and being forced to read a story she wasn't interested in. She was also way too young for the character.

Entertaining
I enjoyed this story. It was engaging enough to hold my attention, and it was a good bit of escapism. Decent plot.
