Six friends. One annual getaway and one deadly secret.

When a girl’s weekend in Port Aransas ends with a lifelong friend dead, Nina Evans’ world is shattered. As she grapples with the loss, she finds an unlikely ally in Detective Quinn Stewart—a former big-city cop now living stress-free doing beach patrol on the island.

But peace and quiet is in short supply as they uncover the victim’s double life and a web of lies that puts Nina in the middle of the unraveling case. The one constant—Quinn Stewart’s unwavering commitment to finding the truth…and keeping her safe.

The novel’s pacing is impeccable, balancing edge-of-your-seat twists with quieter moments of reflection. It’s clear Hill has a deep understanding of human behavior, making every interaction, suspicion, and revelation feel authentic and layered.

Hill’s ability to explore these themes within a tightly woven narrative is what sets her apart as a storyteller. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of thrillers or new to the genre, Jones is a must-read that will leave you guessing until the very end.
