This was a cliff hanger from the word go. There was a lot of tension between the three friends and despite the friendship, it sounded forced as if there were underlying issues.
Three friends decide to go on a girls trip to Tullum, Mexico. Each one of them had an agenda of their own and each hoped to come back with their friendship mended to what it was before. What was that about never being able to go back.
The story starts out tamely enough. A nice enough resort. Three ladies with money to spend. Plenty to eat and drink. Supposed to be a holiday. The cracks widened quickly enough and festered into open hostility. When one of them disappears with a man, some action has to be taken and when the police and husbands are summoned the story becomes much more black, more threatening and much closer to home.
Amongst the three there is always one odd man out and secrets have to be told if we are to find out what has happened to the missing girl. The troubles are of their own making and they now have to sort themselves out in the best way they can.
The book was sent to me by Netgalley for an unbiased review, courtesy of Lake Union Publishing.
Their friendship doesn't seem very sincere. I do like these authors, though.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your review, I'm adding this book to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of this one but didn't have time to get to it - now I've read your thoughts I'm pushing it up the list
ReplyDeleteThis sounds intense!
ReplyDeleteSeems there's always an odd man out when there's a group of three. Because I've enjoyed a couple of books by the authors this is on my list to read someday.
ReplyDeleteI love that cover! The plot sounds pretty twisty and intense, too. Great review.
