Publisher's summary

Luxury villas on hot white sand, views for miles over turquoise water.
Flawless hostess Penny gathers guests to an island for her husband’s birthday celebrations.
But she soon regrets inviting self-obsessed Eloise…

When a child vanishes on the night of the party, their perfect island weekend is ripped apart. Even paradise harbours murky secrets…
Has he been taken? Has he drowned?

In the panic to find any trace, Penny casts about for someone to blame—even if that person is her own daughter, Rosie. Even clear waters descend to pitch black…

But it’s not the first time Rosie’s been attacked by her mother. And it’s not the first time she’s turned to Eloise for support.

As the sun beats down and dark secrets rise to the surface, can they find the missing child before it’s too late—or will this sudden disappearance endanger them all? …and someone among them knows the whole shocking truth

Intriguing, Engaging, AND BEST NARATORS EVER

Great Story; this author knows how to write, develop characters, and bring the characters' emotions and inner thoughts to light in ways that intrigue, capture the mind, and keeps one listening. I'm also impressed by the narrators, especially the one who narrated Eloise. I appreciate that they both have beautiful mature voices and don't sound like teenage bimbos. I also very much love that even during crying, tear-filled scenarios, their narration was done in a mature way, and not in that whiny, high-pitched, blumbering , over-played, and exceedingly irritating cry-baby way in which most female narrators over do crying scenes. Both narrators were excellent, stellar, and perfect, _but I personally fell in love with the gorgeous voice of the one who narrated Eloise, and I wish she narrated the female characters in all of my Audible books_ .

Ehh pretty good

For me personally I could listen to aussies read ingredients off a cereal box and be entertained so well done as far as performance goes. As far as the story goes there were a few bits where I thought “wow! I don’t like any of these characters” or “wtf why would you do that???” But it all comes together in the end, the first boat scene was my favorite and it’s an easy listen.

It was a good ending and the plot twists were good I liked it would recommend

Good story

I enjoyed this book. I did not; however, care for the spite and jealousy the women in the story have for one another. Saddened that women are once again portrayed in this manner.

Really identifies with wife/mother experience

I’m not a mom but I love how the story really dived into the experience of feeling inferior to “the perfect wife” and feeling judged by other women. It’s nice to see the older version of woman looking after the younger and helping them make better decisions without being overbearing . And I enjoyed crack in the perfect veneer of the perfect woman.

Some questions weren’t answered by the end but they weren’t huge plot holes

Why all the 5-stars?

Not a horrible story but certainly not a 5-star novel. Very long and often repetitive narrative that adds nothing to the plot or characters. There were a few storylines that were introduced but never followed through with that could have added some substanance to the book. Then it just ended without ever tying in the loose ends. Narrator was excellent though.

So good

Such a good suspenseful book. Keeps you guessing till the end. Great cast of characters to like and some to dislike. I felt like I was on the island with them.

Drawn out

I liked getting to know them, but I felt the two main characters’ thoughts were repetitive, at times, and didn’t really add to the story. It made everything very drawn out. The ending was also anticlimactic.
