About this listen

A dark family secret

When Alice’s father dies after a tragic hit-and-run, his death stirs up unanswered questions about her childhood. Who was her mother, why did her father never speak of the past, and why can’t she remember anything before the age of seven?

An island cut off

But when she receives an anonymous letter containing a photograph of a refurbished gothic guesthouse surrounded by water, and an invitation to stay, old memories fight to resurface.

Alice has visited before. She is certain of it.

Who will survive?

Convinced the clues to her past lie at the hotel, she checks in. But once on the island, a wild storm rages, waves crash violently into the rocks, and the house is cut off by the roaring sea.

Then two guests are found dead. And the hotel owner is missing. Will Alice ever uncover her secret past?

And will anyone leave the island alive?

An utterly gripping thriller that will leave you listening long into the night! Fans of The Guest List and The Sanatorium will love this nail-biting story.

Critic reviews

"An exciting new voice – Brittany reels readers in with this twisty, clever thriller that will have you second-guessing everything." (Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House)

"Brilliant, pacey and will leave you suspecting everyone is involved!" (Darren O’Sullivan, author of Our Little Secret)

I did like the story and didn't guess 'whodunnit' but something lacked. I struggled to relate to any character, visualise them or even like them. I enjoyed the twists and turns but would have liked more of a back story on verity and why she ended up like she did.

Good but missing something

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, the story had lots of twists and turns. Rose Robinson really brought the story to life.

Rose Robinson is a phenomenal narrater

It took a bit to get into it even with the story being quite thrilling from the onset. There have been other stories with such plots but still the way this was built was unique and the parallel development in past and present made it very intriguing. It seemed very obvious who might be the person behind and still easy to fall into each rabbit hole and eat each red herring, At the end I wasn’t even sure what I thought at the start anymore. I’m curious to see what the author comes up next I’m already hooked to it.

Not new and still unique

I liked the story and I kept me guessing but the narration was too quick in parts, jumping from one characters point of view to another without a breath or pause between.
