Faith's Reviews > Rush of Blood

Three English couples meet while on holiday in Florida. On the last day of their vacation a teenaged American girl goes missing and her body is discovered weeks later. After they return to England the couples begin to socialize, culminating in a dinner party from hell. Police from both England and the United States remain interested in the couples.

I had a hard time focusing on the first third of this book. The couples were quite bland and I couldn’t figure out why they kept getting together for dinner or drinks since they had nothing in common other than their vacation. They didn’t even particularly like each other. However, eventually cracks in their facades began to appear. They not only had secrets but some of the characters were really pretty peculiar. There are also occasional chapters from the point of view of the killer. I had the killer figured out, but I was way off on the “why”. Ultimately, the book entertained me and the ending was satisfying. 3.5 stars

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
