Fiji is one of my favourite places to go on holiday. The island is beautiful with its beaches and resorts and the and the Fijian people are some of the nicest that I have ever met. They are so friendly and helpful and love a chat. My husband and I were there last January and this book took me right back to our resort. The toad racing, the bars, the snorkelling, what is not to love about an island paradise.

Ali Lowe has captured Fiji time perfectly. I was so engrossed in this story and I could picture it all vividly from my visits. I loved the character of Una so much, she is what I think of when I think of Fiji. This is one island I would not want to visit though! I didn’t want to spoil the story at all, but this island is dangerous! Or the people there are I should say, Luella was truly awful, absolutely horrible. You will have strong feelings about her.

This will be the perfect beach read, slop on that sunscreen and get comfortable because you won’t want to put it down. Just fabulous! And that cover is gorgeous ❤️

Thank you so much to Hachette Books Australia for my advanced copy on NetGalley to read. Out February 25th.

White Lotus lovers eat your heart out!
I was unable to put this book down, I was instantly transported to this Fijian island and loved living amongst the native Fijians and the filthy rich tourists.
This mystery was intricately weaved and so well put together. I've loved all of Ali Lowe's books, and here is another that I will be recommending to everyone!

I love a holiday resort setting and also island settings. I enjoyed this mystery set on a holiday island and felt compelled to keep reading to find out who was behind each of the crimes. The book was easy to read and I imagine it would be a great book to take on a holiday and read on the beach. The characters each had secrets and it was interesting to find out more about each of them as the story moved on. I found this to be somewhere between a cozy mystery and a gritty crime novel. It was just the right level of intrigue and mystery and I think it would appeal to a wide audience. I can imagine a series involving the main character Una solving more crimes. She was very likeable.
