Six women travel to a sun-soaked Greek island to celebrate their friend’s upcoming wedding. It should be the prefect weekend getaway, filled with cocktails and sunset swims. But these women each have a secret, and in hiding them from each other they cause dangerous undercurrents within the group.
Deadly consequences are a little more than they bargained for on this hen-do.
I loved Clarke’s earlier work, but I’ve found her more recent offerings somewhat lacking. This book, in particular, is excruciatingly slow paced up until around the 70% mark. Then everything kicks off between 70 – 90% and the last tenth wraps everything up in a far too neat bow to be satisfying!
It was an easy read with a little mystery, although if you’re a fan of this genre I’m sure you’ll see the twist coming. I probably wouldn’t recommend for anyone looking for gripping and twisty but perhaps to those looking for a bit more meat for the sun lounger this summer.
