By Nikki Smith

Rating: 5 out of 5.

After reading and enjoying the twists of crime novel, The Beach Party, I was pleased I had the opportunity to review The Guests. Find out more in my blurb and review below.

The Guests

Blurb

WELCOME TO PARADISE!

Or so the staff say as they greet the Hamiltons on the pristine shores of the idyllic Maldives resort.

And it starts off that way: snorkelling in the serene blue sea, champagne picnics on powder-white sand, and moonlit walks under the stars.

But lies lurk beneath the luxury, because each of the guests has a secret… and they’re not the only ones.

Months later, a grisly discovery is made.

Whatever happened to the Hamiltons? And how did their once-in-a-lifetime trip turn into the holiday from hell?

From the author of THE BEACH PARTY comes a novel of sun, sea and secrets for fans of ONE OF THE GIRLS and WHITE LOTUS.

Review

Set in the Maldives, expect the glamour of a luxurious setting, but it isn’t all it seems in this holiday destination crime novel. 

The rich congregate in the Maldives, lapping up the luxurious surroundings and what their accommodation has to offer. It sounds, as they are greeted, like paradise, except it isn’t all it first appears. There are harboured secrets and deceit. not to mention someone dying. It isn’t as anyone would plan a holiday.

The characters are all intriguing as secrets unfold and the psychology behind everything tightens its grip, making it a compelling, suspenseful read.

The Guests is great for the winter sun seekers or for reminiscing about the warmth of summer.
