About this listen

From the global #1 bestselling author of THE CHRISTMAS PARTY comes a pulse-pounding thriller for fans of THE WHITE LOTUS and BIG LITTLE LIES, performed by multi Audie winner Julia Whelan and winner of the BAFTA Rising Star award Mia McKenna-Bruce.

In paradise, trust no-one.

When Erin books a last-minute villa on Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast, she hopes it will be the perfect chance to repair her fractured family. Upon arrival, they meet Tristan and Bea, the alluring siblings vacationing in the villa next door. But their idyllic getaway quickly unravels when Erin's teenage son Jesse goes missing after a party, and a body is found on the beach.

As secrets and lies are exposed, Erin realises her family is being targeted by someone with a sinister agenda. With time running out to find Jesse, she must confront the dark truths lurking beneath the surface of their seemingly ordinary lives.

Some secrets can’t stay buried in the sand.

Characters were one dimensional and the storyline was flat and predictable. The wife’s character was portrayed to be this brave, logical person but how could she be okay with her kids going out to party with practical strangers WITHOUT their phones in a foreign country? Really? The dad’s character read like a piece of cardboard. The way Triston and Bea’s characters were introduced, I thought they’d be some kinda masterminds but their ‘blackmail’ also ended up being really flat. How did Triston expect Errin to send him money with her phone locked away?

The story had some good potential but I came out of this not really enjoying it.

Nothing, didn’t really enjoy it
