Publisher's summary

When a dream trip becomes your worst nightmare...

You’ve been excited about this getaway for months–at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong.

The beautiful waitress from the restaurant last night has been found lying dead in the sand. And the police want to question your husband about it.

Sure, you saw him glance at her over dinner a few times, but you know he didn’t have anything to do with the poor girl’s death. So why is he asking you to lie to the police that he was with you all night? And where did he go in those missing hours?

When he returns to your beautiful sea-view suite, things get heated and he accuses you of being jealous, just like he always does. Yes, the waitress was overly flirtatious with your husband, but you didn’t actually wish her any harm. Not really.

Can you trust the man you married...or are you the one who can’t be trusted?

Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Hunting Party, and The Girl on the Train.

Depressing, and Unlike able Characters

I thought this story had promise but I did not like any of the characters and found it depressing. It was way to long and I read the reviews that said it was a surprise ending. I should have cut my losses and returned the audiobook. Narrator also did not change her voice at all and female characters all sounded the same. Save your credit unless you want a depressing look at 3 miserable marriages with very flawed people.

Implausable

I did not find this story at all hard to follow, it was just so implausible. Author was going for an Agatha Christie type vibe, but missed the mark. We are to believe that Every Woman on this Resort thinks their husband is a murderer. I can't say more without giving something away. There is some redemption with the ending, however even that is a stretch.
It was well written and well read, just unbelievable.

Eye-rolling.

stick with it

You need a good little bit to start this book where you don't have to start and stop. If you do listen a little, then stop, then listen some more, you will not get the characters straight. After you do get the couples figured out it is smooth sailing from there. Great little mystery, kept me entertained, and kept me guessing at who the "bad" guy was.

Very, Very Good

Although certain aspects of this novel are little improbable, if you practice suspension of disbelief and allow yourself to be a carried away, you’ll be in for quite a suspenseful and fun read.
The narration is exceptional, the story is unique, and I truly enjoyed this book from start to finish.
It also surprised me, which is a rare treat.
I liked the characters, was mesmerized by the location and found the interplay between the three couples to be very entertaining.
A definite yes.
Worth a credit and worth your time…

Darn- Now I Have To Wait For The Next Sue Watson

The author does a very good job at setting an atmosphere, creating interesting characters. I thought I knew what had happened but was wrong.

Wow

This story had some really eye opening experiences. It was so amazing how the characters shared their lives with each other during a difficult time while on vacation. There were some really sad moments too. I almost cried listening to this story unfold. But for some people the circumstances of this story is their real life reality that they’ve lived through and survived.

Hard to understand the commentator.

I would have preferred a commentator who spoke English without an accent. Her voice was not a pleasant tone to listen to but I loved the story. It would be better to have a choice of accents of the reader.

From complex to confusion…

Sue Watson and Tamsin Kennard again join forces to bring forth this suspenseful murder thriller. Featuring several couples on a vacation island, we learn about their very different pasts, secrets, troubles and chaos ensues. Kennard, as always, narrates with precision and her talent shines through. Though the story was well-paced, I was lost in the end. I listened three times and still don’t know whodunnit.
