Publisher's summary

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime.

Delighted by a surprise invitation, Miriam Macy sails off to a luxurious private island off the coast of Mexico, with six strangers - an ex-cop, a chef, a financial advisor, a nurse, a lawyer, and a young widow.

Surrounded by miles of open water in the gloriously green Sea of Cortez, Miriam is shocked to discover that she and the rest of her companions have been brought to the remote island under false pretenses - and all seven strangers harbor a secret.

Danger lurks in the lush forest and in the halls and bedrooms of the lonely mansion. Sporadic cell-phone coverage and miles of ocean keeps the group trapped in paradise. And strange accidents keep them suspicious of each other, as one by one...they all fall down.

For fans of thrilling contemporary suspense like The Woman in Cabin 10, Rachel Howzell Hall's brilliant stand-alone novel modernizes and pays homage to Agatha's Christie's And Then There Were None, bringing a diverse cast of seven sinners to a private island for a reckoning that will leave you breathless.

Unfortunately, extremely boring

Perhaps readers who are not familiar with Agatha Christie might find this book enjoyable. I can not fault the writer's style. The narration was fine, but it seemed like a ripoff rather than a homage to a classic story. The author mixes diversity and current events, but it was not enough to brighten a tired formula. Once again, if you are not familiar with the original you could very well like the book.

Bad people doing bad things

I enjoyed the narrative told by main character Miriam. Even though she is flawed and has an unlikeable quality, I liked her for the majority of the story. Many reviews I saw before reading this book mentioned this is a retelling of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" which I adore so I had high hopes. This book never brought on the suspense expected and was pretty much a story about bad people doing bad things so can only give it three stars.

Worst Narrator EVER

I've never heard my dog howl in response to an audiobook. This narrator needs to be banned from Audible. Indescribably awful; "accents/twangs" god awful. Literally sounded like a wounded animal which genuinely upset my dog. There are no words for how bad this was/is...

Boring. I couldn’t finish!

I listened to the first 1/3 of the book. It was so boring. I have never returned an Audible book before until this one. The story was going NOWHERE! This is supposed to be a thriller!

The narration was fantastic. I loved having a POC as main character and her voice was well written. She had a lot of sass and made me laugh. But as I said, it was so boring. The pace was simply off.

Horrible book

This book was one of the worst books I ever read in my life. The word "Chaise"was said over 20 times the storyline was full of pointless details.. The character storylines were horrible the ending was even worse. Miriam the main character stayed in her head of redundant thoughts 🤔

Not her best but worthwhile

Story addressing characters with major personality flaws that interact with their lot in life.. Main character however appeared most redeemable and understandable. Interesting take on intersection of multiple nationalities, race , class and sex. Plot became fairly clear at certain point and story lasted too long -great narration

Solid “whodunit”

Solid homage to a whodunit with an untrustworthy narrator.
Performance was animated and thoughtful.
Good company to listen to while handling everyday stuff, I never felt that I had to stop anything to pay attention to twists or details.
Not predictable, but not a ground-breaker.

Not worth a credit!

It was a struggle. I hoped the ending would be better, at least enough to make up for the bad characters. I was sadly disappointed.
