About this listen

A dream holiday. You’d die to be there.

You are offered the getaway of a lifetime on a remote island with a group of strangers. Things have been difficult recently, so you jump at the chance to swim under the summer sun, explore the peaceful woodlands and return to an elegant hotel for a glorious dinner.

As the boat pulls into the harbour, you’re surrounded by crystal-clear water and soon you are alone. Just the peace and quiet you were promised. No phone signal, no internet… no way to call for help. But nothing will go wrong in paradise, right?

As a huge summer storm rolls towards the island, everyone is starting to realise the secrets they’ve been hiding for years seem to have followed them here. And you are no different.

Then one of your group disappears. His body washes up in the picture-postcard harbour, and it’s clearly no accident. Can you get out alive?

From Sunday Times bestseller Paul Finch, The Island is an utterly gripping thriller that will have your pulse pounding as you race through the pages! Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Lucy Clarke.

I loved the overall story, the character development and narration. The majority of the book is superbly atmospheric and has you picturing how it must feel to be hunted as these people were on the island. But, once the perp is revealed it loses something. It was too obvious for some time. Additionally the final twist just felt very contrived and unnecessary. The idea that dog man wanted the cops on the island to hunt for their crimes to their badges was good enough and believable. The complicated references to the crew and some new police operation was hard to believe and spoiled it for me. Shame as up to that point I loved the book.
