Suspense and Paranoia
A couple honeymooning in Bora Bora, discover a bag filled with loot. Both Mark, who has just lost his job, and Erin are tempted to keep the goodies to ease their financial burdens. Their decision could be the death of them.
In addition to ratcheting up the suspense and mystery about the origin of the loot; author Steadman does a great job revealing how quickly paranoia descends on the couple, and they begin to develop a moral and criminal mindset to cover their tracks and save their hides. The fact that Erin is a documentary filmmaker working on a project about convicts who have been released from prison adds to the plot.
Well written suspense, although the ending wasn't as satisfying ass I had hoped it would be for the level of mystery created. Worth a read for an adrenalin rush and a Hitchcockian element of mystery.
