Resumen del Editor

Luxury villas on hot white sand, views for miles over turquoise water.
Flawless hostess Penny gathers guests to an island for her husband’s birthday celebrations.
But she soon regrets inviting self-obsessed Eloise…

When a child vanishes on the night of the party, their perfect island weekend is ripped apart. Even paradise harbours murky secrets…
Has he been taken? Has he drowned?

In the panic to find any trace, Penny casts about for someone to blame—even if that person is her own daughter, Rosie. Even clear waters descend to pitch black…

But it’s not the first time Rosie’s been attacked by her mother. And it’s not the first time she’s turned to Eloise for support.

As the sun beats down and dark secrets rise to the surface, can they find the missing child before it’s too late—or will this sudden disappearance endanger them all? …and someone among them knows the whole shocking truth

Unrealistic and Repetative

I had high hopes for this book based on reviews. The lead female characters are not realistic or interesting.

An yet abysmal human condition…

This I could have done without. While entertainingly written, you get a really foul exposure to some of the major flaws the human condition right now and you’re left wondering what in the world the author is trying to get across. It’s also yet another example of how when you don’t have to worry about finances, the rules of law, society and just generally decency don’t really apply… which kinda just leaves the reader feeling like gum on the bottom of a shoe…

Great book; excellent narrators

I wasn’t sure what to expect as this was a free read, but it was an enjoyable and intriguing story, The narrators were excellent as well. I think they are the most pleasant sounding voices I’ve ever heard.

Great book

Loved this book. The characters were good. The storyline was easy to follow. I recommend it for easy listening.

Vivid descriptions

Great story very engaging and kept me hooked throughout the whole time. Strong characters and great plot.

What a page turner!

Loved that it was told from two (flawed but striving to be better) women’s perspectives. The real problem they were trying to solve of the horrible incident that happens was almost the backdrop to their own backstories, which were deep and gripping. Highly recommend!

Slow burn until about half way through.

Most of the book is spent on 2 of the main characters, which neither of are very likable. After the child goes missing it does ramp up some, but still not my favorite. Good narration and sounds like a beautiful spot to vacay.

Great plot, great narrator.

No complaints! Each character made sense and reminded me of people I know. It was very believable and engaging.

Great story

This book had a great storyline and characters filled with emotions and relatable. It was captivating and very easy to follow and know what was happening.

Story was told by two separate people whose lives intertwined.

I loved the person who read this. It’s the first book I’ve listened too that the two main characters lives intertwined hour by hour. I enjoyed the story. I was taken by surprise on the ending. So it kept me interested the whole time. I recommend listening to it!
