*THE DEBUT OF THE SUMMER*
The Beach meets Big Little Lies, this is an unputdownable story of secrets and betrayal in a shaken paradise…
It's a liar's paradise…
Laelia is ready for the journey of a lifetime: a trip to faraway Belize with her two young children and her new partner, Aidrian, to celebrate her father's birthday.
But something feels off from the first footprint on the beach. The heat is sticky and close. The family party crackles with unspoken tension. Aid is acting distant and edgy.
Things escalate when Laelia’s father falls dangerously ill, and she’s forced to decamp to the remote jungle lodge that he calls home. The jungle is wild and beautiful, thrumming with life and unseen danger – and Laelia has never felt more alive. But in the confines of the jungle, secrets soon start to creep out of the shadows. And as Aid's behaviour becomes more erratic, Laelia discovers the real danger might be closer to home…
