The retreat

by Jason Sherman

Will you brave The Retreat ? An idyllic wellness retreat has opened on an island off the coast of Devon, promising rest and relaxation - but the island itself, known locally as Reaper's Rock, has a dark past. Once the playground of a serial killer, it's rumored to be cursed. But now they can't leave. A woman is found dead below the yoga pavilion in what seems to be a tragic fall. But DS Elin Warner soon learns that the victim wasn't a guest - she wasn't meant to be on the island at all. And they would do anything to escape . . . The longer Elin stays, the more secrets she uncovers. And when someone else drowns in a diving incident, Elin begins to suspect that the old stories about the island are true. Because history seems to be repeating itself - and the guests might not make it home alive . . . --------- Readers enjoyed their stay at The Retreat - 'If The Sanatorium was all about the atmosphere, The Retreat is all about the tension.' ***** 'Fast paced, tense, suspenseful and unpredictable , I loved it!' ***** 'Wow what a book!' ***** 'We all fancy a spa break don't we?
