Publisher Description
Honeymooners at a posh resort receive an ominous warning with deadly consequences in the latest gripping, twisty psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Sophie Hannah.
Jane and William are enjoying their honeymoon at an exclusive couples-only resort…
…until Jane receives a chilling note warning her to “Beware of the couple at the table nearest to yours.” At dinner that night, five other couples are present, and none of their tables is any nearer or farther away than any of the others. It’s almost as if someone has set the scene in order to make the warning note meaningless—but why would anyone do that?
Jane has no idea.
But someone in this dining room will be dead before breakfast, and all the evidence will suggest that no one there that night could have possibly committed the crime.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this twisty tale, a honeymooner is murdered at an exclusive resort—and all the clues, including a mysterious letter, point to the other vacationing couples. Six months later, dogged police detective Simon Waterhouse and his charming partner (and wife), Sergeant Charlie Zailer, still haven’t solved the case. But then a guest with unique knowledge of the victim’s tangled past steps in to sort out the different guests’ motives for murder. Sophie Hannah’s ingenious take on the classic locked-room mystery pulled us in with its quirky cast of characters and all their tangled secrets. By the time Hannah wraps up her devilish mystery, everyone had become a suspect.
