The trip of their dreams is about to end in murder. When five old friends are invited to join Abigail Blythe at the launch of her luxury hotel in the Costa Rican rainforest, they jump at the chance to spend a week in paradise.
None of them have heard from Abigail since the summer they went backpacking in Central America as students – a trip that ended in disaster for one member of the group. . .
Ten years may have passed, but old rivalries are never far from the surface. So when a body is discovered during the hotel’s launch event, it soon becomes clear that one among them must be responsible. Someone is desperate to keep an old secret hidden – whatever the cost .
Our Bookseller says:
'Tom Hindle is the king of the modern locked room mystery. Managing to isolate his characters within the real world, when everyone has almost instant access to all information, without it feeling contrived is a brilliant sleight of hand. Perfect for fans of golden age detective novels as well as readers of modern crime, whether cosy or not. I'm not really a believer in beach reads (any book is a beach read, just take it to the beach!), but this would be a great one to gobble up on a holiday in a hot country to really give you a sense of place.'
