"A brilliant, twisty thriller that makes you want to shout warnings out aloud to the characters! I was gripped"
Peter James, author of the bestselling Roy Grace series
"An absolutely flawless debut from an incredible survival thriller writer. The prose is taut without being plain and wonderfully descriptive without becoming purple. Paced flawlessly from start to the barn burner of a finale, I gobbled this up in two days and can still hear the hum of insects and feel the heat of a tropical summer on my skin. An absolute must-read for your summer. Nikki Allen is one to watch"
Sarah Goodwin, author of The Yacht
"With shades of The White Lotus, Apple Cider Vinegar and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, this Costa Rican-set thriller is an accomplished white-knuckle ride from start to finish"
