My review:
Nicola & Ryan & Kim & Lewis, along with children Emily & Cole head on vacation together. The ladies are bff’s and the men are not fans of each other and seem to just tolerate each other.
So we’re led to believe something is up when Nicola reads a text on Ryan’s phone, but it turns out to be something way bigger than she expected. I felt too many chapters went by when she was just thinking about confronting him and not actually confronting him. Like, girl, just ask this husband of yours what’s up.
This dude pops out books left and right and I felt this one was mostly true to Daniel’s form. He builds up the suspense with having multiple narrators, but the intrigue is a little less since we know what’s happening on the flip side. It was less of a thriller IMO too. Can’t say I loved the last little zinger either. Not my favorite, but still enjoyable enough to hold my interest.
I was fortune enough to receive a kindle copy and an audio book to review. Either way worked perfect fine.
Narration:
Zoe Mills & Richard Burnip ~ 6 hours 48 minutes ~ they both did a fine job.

Book blurb:
The perfect holiday or the perfect nightmare…
I sit sipping champagne in the warm water, bubbles frothing around me as I admire the breath-taking view of gorgeous blue skies and mountains. I can’t believe I’m here, at this stunning holiday home. It’s to die for…
My best friend and her husband have invited me and my family to their lakeside property for the weekend, to experience their luxury lifestyle. I’m not envious of their wealth, although I know my husband Ryan is. All I want is to escape from our recent troubles and get my marriage back on track.
Then I overhear Ryan having a whispered conversation late one evening, and he says something that sends a shiver down my spine. In this beautiful paradise my whole world is turned upside down.
Just when I think things can’t get any worse, I discover a second secret. The truth is even more shocking than I imagine, and now I have no idea who to trust.
This was meant to be the perfect holiday, but someone isn’t going to survive it…
