"Family is all you have, but it isn't found only in a blood connection. Family shows itself in the unlikeliest of moments: the split-second glances, a gesture, the hand next to yours when you need it the most."
A minimal eco-wellness retreat opened on a remote island off the English coast, that promises beautiful views, nature, and relaxation. The island itself has a different reputation, being known as Reaper's Rock, it was the home of a serial killer and now said to be cursed. Detective Elin Warner is called to the island when a woman's body is found on the rocks below the yoga pavilion, it seems foul play is at hand, especially because the woman wasn't a guest on the island. When body after body begin to appear one after another, it is made clear that nothing happening is an accident. Elin is hot on the case, making sure that the island's history won't repeat itself.
Once again Pearse knocks it out of the park with this novel, it is the perfect addition to this series and step in Elin's storyline. Once again Elin finds herself in an isolated location, but its a tropical beautiful island that her boyfriend Will worked as the architect of...not to mention Will's sister Farrah does as well. It just happens Elin gets called to the island when people start dying but one group of people are in the center of it all. Elin seems more centered as a person and grounded, that she has evolved and is making peace with what has happened in the first book. Will is a complete dick on the other hand though, even though when it's revealed that his family is more personally connected to the previous deaths on the island helps make sense of his personality, it just made me absolutely hate him and his sister. The final twist was incredible and it's such a wonderful read, once again it was a one day read for me! Had to get the second book the moment it was released!
