Summary
It was supposed to be paradise.
A group of friends are studying abroad in Australia, having the time of their lives. Sun-kissed skin, whirlwind romances, all-night parties – they think it will never end, that nothing bad will ever happen to them.
But not all of them came home.
Accepted onto the exclusive Adventure Abroad Programme, they travel the country, swim with sharks, hike in the national park. But it isn’t long before their trip of a lifetime ends in violence and betrayal.
And now they have to go back...
Years pass, but none of the surviving friends forget what happened that night. So when the remains of a girl are found in the outback, they know it’s time to face up to the past. All of them are guilty of something, but who is really to blame?
***Praise for Sara Ochs***
'A deadly, dangerous, beautiful nightmare… will leave you breathless yet gasping for more.'
- CHRIS WHITAKER
'An escapist, up-all-night thriller that holds you under and doesn't let you surface for air until the very final page. Utterly compelling!'
- LUCY CLARKE
'A pacy and accomplished murder mystery, its deep, sinister and intriguing plot draws you into a flawed paradise where everyone has a tale to tell... and one they keep to themselves.'
-JANICE HALLETT
'Compelling and accomplished...perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.'
-STEVE CAVANAGH
'Amongst the diverse cast of characters, there is no one you can trust and everyone has a secret to hide. I was captivated by Sara's writing and can't wait to see what she does next.'
