Even paradise has shadows.

July 2025. Tash and Mark host a birthday weekend for their son, Dom, at their luxury villa on a Greek island, inviting a select list of people to celebrate. As the drinks flow, the unthinkable happens when Tash’s sister drowns, vanishing without a trace.

No one suspects foul play – except for Tash.

July 2026. One year on, Tash hosts a party for the same guests who were there when Emma died. She's learned that they're all hiding something - even Dom's behaviour has changed since that night. She knows that answers lie on the island and no one is leaving until she gets the truth.

But if the villa holds the secrets to what happened, it also hides a killer...

What a ride! Twists and turns, secrets and lies - it’s all here in this thriller, set in glamorous Greece. A brilliant beach read to puzzle over - who is telling the truth? And who is not as they seem? SAM HOLLAND

I devoured this tense glittering, gilded knot of a Mykonos mystery... it's perfect escapism. ANGELA CLARK
