Deep Blue Lies: The BRAND NEW thriller from a number-one bestselling author
'I LOVED this book and couldn't put it down! This is Gregg Dunnett on top of his game.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Crystal-clear waters. Cold-blooded murder. Deep blue lies.
When Ava Whitaker is kicked out of medical school – and dumped by her boyfriend – her life falls apart. But the real problem isn't her future. It's in her past. She was born on the Greek island of Alythos, where her mother once mixed cocktails at the luxurious Aegean Dream Resort. Yet her mother has never spoken about that time, never explained why she left so suddenly, and never answered the one question that's haunted Ava her entire life: Who was her father?
Desperate for answers, Ava travels to Alythos to discover the truth. But what begins as a search for her identity quickly turns into something far more sinister. The island's aquamarine waters hide tragic secrets. The locals' smiles don't reach their eyes. And the abandoned resort, with its cracked pool and vine-strangled terraces, feels like a tomb.
Because something happened here twenty years ago. Something the locals have spent decades trying to forget. And something somebody will do anything to keep buried...
A darkly addictive, sun-soaked thriller from the number-one bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Shari Lapena.

The setting of a Greek island gives this thriller a summery feel mixed with underlying suspense. Ava is a very likeable character, and I enjoyed following her journey as she unravelled the mysteries from the island of her birth. There are plenty of revelations, and as someone who has read all of Gregg Dunnetts book, this was another great read! I listened to the audiobook, and the narration was fantastic.

After failing out of medical school, a young woman travels to a Greek island resort in search of answers about her past. Who is her father? What is her connection to this island? And is someone actively trying to stop her from uncovering the truth?
This was an atmospheric mystery full of vivid depictions that brought the Greek setting to life. I loved the determined FMC, who never gives up despite the obstacles in her way, and the cast of intriguing characters that kept me on edge.
The mystery unfolds gradually, with plenty of clues sprinkled throughout to help piece together the bigger picture.
Suspenseful, descriptive, and immersive—this is a great pick for readers who enjoy mysteries set in exotic locations.
