Description

“Hitchcockian chills and thrills abound in Swanson's latest mystery, a twisty tale of survival and deception. " – O, the Oprah Magazine

A bride’s dream honeymoon becomes a nightmare when a man with whom she’s had a regrettable one-night stand shows up in this electrifying psychological thriller from the acclaimed author of Eight Perfect Murders.

Abigail Baskin never thought she would fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He’s a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind—a refreshing change from her previous relationships.

But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident—and the sexy guy who wouldn’t give her his real name—out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life. Their honeymoon on a luxurious, secluded island will be the beginning of their blissful lives together.

Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears—and Abigail’s future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real—and he’s tracked her down to prove it.

Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon—and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the shadows one night, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss… including her perfect new husband.

A fun read that had me excited to come back every time I put it down. The main character was flawed and likable. I’ve noticed a few reviews saying the ending was unexpected… it didn’t feel that way to me at all. But it was satisfying.
Took a minute… but hang on to your hat!!

Peter does a superb job in building tension throughout the book; this is a page turner worth reading. At first, Abigail is an ambivalent character …making a critical error in moral judgment before her marriage to Bruce made me feel unsympathetic with her ongoing dilemmas. Yet the story ends in a satisfying way that wins you over to Abigail.

I enjoy reading this author’s books, but this one was predictable. Was still surprised at the level of rot among the antagonists. Skipped about 100 pages and just read the last 10 pages. The term “nouveau riche” and stereotype of newly wealthy people lacking good taste and morals certainly apply to some characters in this book. To be so well educated, grounded, and experienced, Abigail seemed too gullible and dumb. When red flags appear daily, look out. If something seems too good to be true, it is.
