Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post).

Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she agrees to try out with him.

A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.

But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death. Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Psychological Suspense

It’s fine. A fun summer read. I wouldn’t have purchased if I had paid attention to the narrator being Imogen Church, though. I simply do not like her simpering voice. And in this book the first person sometimes changed between female characters and her acting was so similar for both that it was very confusing and I had to keep going back to see whose voice it was.

Modern premise

I’m a Ruth Ware fan. Prefer the stories where there is more mystery around who the “bad guy” is rather than figuring out why he is and how that will be resolved, but still an enjoyable read. Loved the narration.

Enjoyable

Ruth Ware is simply the best, this story was intensely captivating and paired with Imogen’s narration skills it’s an 11/10

Imogen’s narration is next level outstanding as always!

I've read everything by Ruth Ware and this didn't even come close to past books. Characters were caricatures of real people, so predictable. The plot held no surprises or suspense. I knew what was coming at every turn. What a waste of time.

predictable and boring

Def had to push myself to get through some parts...found myself zoning out. Not as exciting or thrilling as it claims to be. Super anticlimactic at the end and felt disappointed
