The Private Island

*The Private Island* by N.M. Smit is a sun-soaked, tightly wound thriller set on Loloma Island, Fiji, where a New Year’s Eve celebration at an ultra-exclusive resort turns dangerous in an instant. With champagne flowing and fireworks poised to light up the Pacific sky, the holiday mood feels effortless—until a body washes up on the shore.

As the countdown continues, suspicion spreads through the guest list and staff quarters alike. A billionaire’s glamorous daughter with inheritance on her mind. A start-up founder running out of money and options. A young dive instructor out of his depth. A husband making reckless choices. And a lover kept carefully out of sight. On a private island, every secret has nowhere to go.

Perfect for readers who love destination crime, locked-room mysteries, and fast-paced suspense with a tropical setting.

Slip away to Loloma Island—just don’t expect everyone to make it home.
