Darcy, Camilla, and Kate are close friends who were brought together by a shared tragedy. But the three are headed to a posh resort in the Maldives to celebrate Darcy’s divorce, and there will be lots of pampering, relaxing, drinking, and having fun. Camilla hopes to generate lots of content for followers of her exercise Instagram account, while Kate, a ghostwriter, is hoping to get some good work in on her own book.
Despite the beauty and luxury of the resort, all is not perfect. The women befriend a young honeymooner they believe is being abused by her husband, and then a guest is found murdered.
It turns out that there are lots of secrets that the women have kept hidden from each other. But should they take matters into their own hands or alert the police? And in the end, what do they want to happen?
“I’m saying that sometimes a lesson can be learned by having your mettle tested. It’s not easy to confront the shadowy parts of your character, or to learn that your moral fiber is full of holes.”
I really enjoyed the way Carver spun her story. I had one or two unanswered questions, but in the end, I couldn’t get enough. (This is the second book I’ve read this year which was set at a resort with overwater villas. I need a vacation!)
