An isolated private island in Hawaii might be the perfect place for a vacation – sun, sea, sand, no distractions from the pesky internet…

Well, there are the crabs, some of them can be quite aggressive. And, as Frankie Elkin discovers, there’s a slight problem when you can’t trust anyone around you.

Frankie has come to the island at the behest of the Beautiful Butcher, a serial killer whose execution is imminent, tasked with finding the killer’s sister. She is apparently at risk from the man who has been looking after her – a multi-millionaire – as the sister is about to turn eighteen…

But can you trust a serial killer to tell the truth? As threats lurk on the island at every turn, and a tropical storm approaches, things are about to get very bad indeed…

Quick review time – it’s been a little while since I’ve read a Lisa Gardner book and this is the first Frankie Elkin book that I’ve read. It’s the third in the series and I did feel that I needed a little more background to her early on. There are vague references to previous cases (not spoilery but maybe more detail would make them so) but she does seem to be weirdly naïve about certain things, like how an airport works. I never quite got a handle on that naivety but it only really comes up at the beginning, so I quickly forgot about it.

The plot takes its time to build but when it really kicks off, it’s like a runaway train, I’ll not spoil anything, but suddenly the tension and threat switches from vague to calamitous and from that point on, I could not put the book down.

So don’t be put off by the domestic-thrillery title, this is an exciting … OK, can’t think of a word to describe a non-domestic thriller. It’s a fast-moving thriller with an interesting protagonist who has intrigued me enough for me to want to check out what I’ve missed so far.

Note: if you look at some of the blurbs, there’s some weird comparisons. “Taken meets Glass Onion” is weird, and Booklist, being on an island doesn’t make it a locked-room mystery… You’d think people would have learned by now.
