This book is an absolute riot. Simple premise; en route to Abu Dhabi for a dream flm job, Ellie overhears something. A plan for murder. She keeps stum, then, guess what, there’s an unexpected death. The premise is simple. The story is fast paced and, let’s face it, totally implausible. But it’s a joy to be swept along by writing which depicts a wonderfully exotic location, a host of characters who are all as bad as each other. So many secrets, so many lies it’s impossible to know who to believe or where the story is going next. Ellie isn’t what she appears either and after a short time, I was in a total whirl with what was going on. And there’s the beauty of this book. It’s pure escapism, fast paced, exciting and packed with twists. It’s a roller coaster ride and I enjoyed it, completed in almost a single sitting.

Wow! What a book! I couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting. It was amazing it had me hooked from start to finish!

I’d highly recommend this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars!

A twist filled crime mystery set in Abu Dhabi. The story raced along and I was intrigued to find out what happened next. Suspenseful and a great holiday read.

This was a roller coaster ride from start to finish, great book and a good author. A good book to take on joliday

The first thing I did after reading the book was add Rachel Wolf to my Goodreads shelf. A killer in paradise with a setup of a movie shoot? Count me in!

I knew this was going to be great 20 percent into the story. And just when I thought I knew what was going on things took a 360 degree turn. A couple of times. There are some major twists and the narration is brilliant. I loved the destination thriller as it mixes the elements of mystery and a light vacation. Only it isn't light or a vacation. I loved the setting and premise and the characters are all equally suspicious, filled with red herrings. Going to recommend this one for sure.

Pure Escapism..
Who to believe in this pacy and glamorous destination novel of suspense come murder mystery set in exotic climes and where nothing is as it first appears.. Ellie has always wanted to star on the big screen so when an offer of a film in Abu Dhabi materialises she grabs the opportunity. Overhearing a murderous conversation on the plane, Ellie finds herself in an untenable position when the murderous plan appears to materialise - but Ellie has too much to hide herself to make it known. Pure escapism, compelling, immersive and quite impossible to put down.

Oh my goodness, this was the twistiest of twisty thrillers with all the glamour of a desert film set, the threat of an unknown killer and a landscape that only offered more danger. It was an emotional rollercoaster with excitement, grief, fear, trauma, dopplegangers and a plot that led me down so many wrong paths and still surprised me at the end.

Ellie and her best friend Phoebe look almost exactly alike. So when Phoebe falls ill, she asks Ellie to take her place in her first major film. A few days later Ellie' is on a plane on the way to Abu Dhabi, putting on an American accent and trying not to be too obvious about her obsession with the lead actor. But when she hears two people plotting murder, everything is thrown into disarray.

The plot was fabulous, but it was the characters who really made this for me. With lots of big, film star egos, they had charisma in spades but personal connection was by no means lost. Ellie was able to get close to many of them throughout the book, taking us deep into the layers of history, trauma and loyalties that led them all to the desert and this particular film set.

I loved Sun Trap and absolutely raced through it. Ellie is a fabulous character and her story kept taking me by surprise. I thought I knew where the book was going so many times, but I was wrong right up to the end.

The location was so dramatic, and the cast was full of so many complex and charismatic characters, this book kept me turning the pages all the way through.
