A highly readable destination thriller. Has all the components you need - glamorous location with plenty of secrets and lies. I enjoyed the split timeline - 1989 and now and the short, punchy chapters that jump between character POVs.
Nina was a bit of a cartoon villain but aside from that, the cast of characters was fine (which is good for this kind of thriller) and neither so dislikeable you didn't want to read about them nor so likeable that you got attached to them.
Nothing groundbreaking but a fun and quick read which I just really enjoyed (and read in just over 8 hours) and recommend for fans of this style of thriller.
