Description

A steamy thriller set on a private Caribbean island where the ultrawealthy's summer vacation is full of sun, schemes, scandals, and murder. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and older readers who enjoyed The White Lotus.

The exclusive Mokani Island is Avery's happy place. This summer, she's invited her college roommate, Nora, to hang out in paradise and party with her superrich friends.

But the vibe feels off from the start. Avery's ex can't get over their split. Her best friend is acting weird. A hot new staff member can't keep his eyes off her. And nobody likes Nora, who keeps sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.

​A tropical storm is brewing and everyone on the island seems to be hiding something--but are some secrets worth killing for?

Don't miss the companion, How the Other Half Kill!

About the Author

P.C. Roscoe has sold cheese in Borough Market in London, scrubbed pans in a kitchen, processed invoices for a multinational, researched TV scripts, and edited romance. But her favorite job, by far, is writing, where she gets to immerse herself in tension-filled, high-stakes stories. She grew up in London before moving to a cottage in Norfolk where she splits her time between writing, cooking disasters and half-finished DIY projects and she honestly couldn't be happier.

Critical Reviews

"The ending will leave readers eagerly anticipating the planned sequel. A chilling portrayal of how money can make things vanish if no one speaks the truth."--Booklist

"Roscoe's narrative highlights issues around the haves and have-nots... Wealth and betrayal make this a lethal combo of a read."

--Kirkus Reviews

"Scandalous White Lotus mystery vibes combine with teenage mean girl drama in Roscoe's suspenseful thriller."--Publishers Weekly

"Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars in this YA thriller that delves into the complexities of class, friendship, and the facade of perfection."--School Library Journal
