 I recommend this book if you like: 
-Adult mystery 
-Holiday setting 
-Multiple points of view and goes between past and present 

Fran is on the search to find out what really happened to her sister Jenna on Gozo island. Her sister was on a mental health retreat and she never returns. The family have been told it was a suicide but they want to do their own research to get answers as to why their Jenna would do such a thing. 

Fran signs up for the next mental health retreat happening in Wales which is ran by Tom and Kate the owners of SoulShrink. Fran doesn’t anticipate running in to three previous members of the retreat, they knew her sister and she feels they all know something which they are keeping secret. 

Jenna had slept with Tom the owner without realising that he was married to Kate. Tom was in love with Jenna and wanted to leave Kate and start a new life. Kate found out about the cheating due to recording the 1 on 1 sessions and she threatened Jenna to leave her husband alone or else all her secrets she shared in her therapy sessions would be exposed. A girl on the retreat, Renata, was very protective of Kate and her relationship and so she hit Jenna on the head with a rock and warned her away from Tom. What we later find out is that she is still alive and Damian had helped her escape the retreat and start a new life in Valetta, Malta. The family all reconnect and Jenna even has a partner and baby.

It was a page turned definitely, and I had a very fun time reading it. It would definitely recommend it as a quick, fun read. Not super complicated although the ending was a bit of a let down so I can’t give all the praise I may have otherwise, but still a thoroughly enjoyable read!
