Laura Dave meets Succession in this riveting, dual-timeline suspense novel about a Gatsbyesque family who goes missing and the podcaster determined to find them.

Few people know the Delamores. But everyone’s heard of the parties. 

When the five Delamores vanish from their own island party, the police find only one: reclusive heiress Aphrodite. In the aftermath of the disappearances and Aphrodite’s mysterious return, the world is captivated. But to podcaster Maddie Pokersnik, the investigation is more than just usual true crime fodder: it’s a chance to finally address her heartbreaking past. 

Invited to spend a weekend on Delamore Isle, Maddie and her brother Kit are determined to unravel the many secrets of the reclusive heiress. And one of those secrets happens to be Jamie Delamore, Aphrodite’s young missing husband—and the love of Maddie’s life. 

As Maddie is plunged into a glittering world of excess and unchecked power, she uncovers the long-buried truth behind the lengths a person will go for survival…and the price she’ll pay for finding it.
