The Couples Retreat by Mercedes Mercier –At a secluded beachfront mansion on Kangaroo Island, one of Australia’s breathtakingly beautiful holiday locations, three wealthy couples gather for a weekend of partying and opulent indulgence. Beneath the glitter and excess, however, old rivalries and volatile secrets fester between the old friends.
When they wake to discover a shocking murder scene, they are immediately gripped by fear, which changes to suspicion. With ferry services suspended due to a storm, both the survivors and the killer remain trapped on the island together. When she finds herself thrust into the biggest case of her fledgling career, rookie police officer Emily Quinn, soon discovers that the locals are distrustful of outsiders.
Then her dangerous ex-boyfriend tracks her down, and Quinn’s past and present collide in a striking fashion, which threatens not only her new life but the investigation of the most macabre crime in the island’s history.
This is all that a crime novel should be: an edge-of-the-seat thriller that, once begun, must be read to the end.
Relax, take the day off and enjoy! You won’t regret it.
