The Honeymoon
The Honeymoon: A sizzling read for summer 2023! | Kate Gray
2 posts | 1 read
Two happy couples. One dead body. A whole load of secrets. Married life wasn't meant to start like this. On honeymoon in Bali, you hit it off with another newlywed couple and celebrate your last night at a fancy cliff-side restaurant. No one predicted the evening would end with a dead body. But it was an accident, right? A tragic accident. The honeymoon may be over but it soon becomes clear that there's another side to this story . . . and your life depends on uncovering it. Many marriages can survive anything but when it starts on a lie is it really 'til death do us part? ___________ Secrets, lies and the mother of all cover-ups... I was gripped by this twisty tale of two couples' honeymoons colliding.' - Louise Candlish, bestselling author of Our House and The Only Suspect 'An addictive, jaw-dropping read. I loved it.' - Claire Douglas 'Fantastically atmospheric and suspenseful ... Set to be one of the biggest sizzling reads of the summer!' - L.V. Matthews 'A nerve-jangling tale of tension, suspicion and betrayal' - T.M. Logan 'Tense, pacy, twisty and ingeniously plotted, it's going to be HUGE this summer!' - Isabelle Broom 'Clever, twisty and tense, I'll be recommending The Honeymoon to friends looking for the perfect summer read.' - Nicole Kennedy 'Brilliantly plotted, full of suspense and atmosphere, it had me turning the pages long after I should have been asleep.' - Lia Middleton 'I really loved this book. Gripping. Atmospheric. Couldn't put it down.' - Imran Mahmood 'Dark, devilish and deliciously addictive. The Honeymoon hooked me from page one and delivered twist after twist. The perfect summer thriller.' - Chris Whitaker

So not what I expected. Yes, two couples meet on the last day of their respective honeymoon in Bali. They go out together, a thunderstorm hits, they split for the night, something unexpected happens and everyone goes home.
Then there's the aftermath to deal with. Erin is plagued with guilt. Her husband Jamie plays it cool. Sophia's journalist's instincts tell her there is a story to be unearthed. Her husband Mark wants her to work less and ... ⬇️

julesG ... is still worried because of incidents to do with Sophia's last story.
On the margins the plot is about the accident/murder that happened in Bali. The main core of the story, however, is set back in England where each of the four characters is hiding some secrets and struggling with life.

julesG I didn't connect with the characters. The dialogues felt stilted and the pacing felt off to me. The whole story felt convoluted with the lives and work of those four characters seemingly easily slotting together. Just like in a soap opera that's been running for years. Which made the whole book very predictable for me, took out the psychological thriller element and made me skim most on the middle of the book. 2y

#TitlesAndTunes #IslandVibe

📚Honeymoon on Bali with an 'accident'. #NetGalley #ARC This might work for #SunshineNoir too.
🎶Paired with Beyoné's Crazy in Love, because it was all the rage when I was honeymooning on Bali.
