Retreat
Hooks us...and reels us in ... Expertly paced, tightly plotted and, in places, genuinely gripping ... Retreat has its flaws. It is laced with the requisite twists and turns we expect from this genre, but one big reveal is so big that we see it coming ... On occasion the prose is marred by groan-inducing clichés ... However, we forget about faults during the book’s many absorbing episodes ... Ritter also excels with sharp lines about, and acute observations of, the gilded worlds and charmed existences of the privileged elite.

A must-read for fans of the popular “rich people behaving badly” subgenre of thrillers ... Those who enjoyed The Last Flight by Julie Clark and Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty will enjoy Ritter’s new novel.

A lukewarm tale ... Ritter keeps things moving at an steady pace, but many of her plot twists are too predictable to shock ... Suspense fans have plenty of better options.
