Literally the best book I’ve ever read, I read the whole thing in an afternoon! So amazingly written, and it has had me captured like no other. I’m definitely going to be reading more of T.M. Logan’s work. I cannot recommend this enough.

The perfect holiday commences, your three best friends, your family and a beautiful villa to stay in all coming together to celebrate your 40th birthday - how perfect. But not everything is as it seems, previous events come to light at the end of this book that are quite hard to comprehend. 

This was an excellent book. The chapters provided lots of suspense so I kept reading to find out what happened to Kate as she became more suspicious. The chapters were also quite short and snappy and provided different points of view for the reader to be able to knit the events of the holiday together.
