About this listen

 'Bolton's dazzling plot recalls Christie at her most inventive' - Sunday Times

The billionaire's will promised them everything. But the money comes with a deadly price . . .

Seven strangers receive a mysterious note that billionaire Logan Quick is leaving them his vast fortune. All they need to do is accept the enclosed Token and wait for his death. None of them know why they've been chosen, but all seven desperately need the money and the chance of a fresh start.

When the group are forced to embark on a dangerous sea crossing, they discover they are connected by a dark secret from their past. As confusion turns to fear and trust to betrayal, the question is no longer who will claim the money - it's who will make it off the boat alive . . .

The Token is the latest compelling thriller from Sharon Bolton, the bestselling author of The Pact and The Split.

Enjoyed the book but the all Cornish cast narration was a bit waring.
Good story with a very unexpected ending. I felt some frustration with Cheryl being a total walk over. Overall good book and I enjoyed it. Will consider others by this author.

This book got a very good review in The Times newspaper. On this recommendation I ordered it. The story was ok but it was so drawn out. It could have been a third shorter. I don't like giving poor reviews but I rely on them when I buy a book, and this is my opinion.

Way too long

Stupid and lame story...which took hours to get to and was a real damp squib...Such a poor plot and boy was it outlined over and over with the stupid tokens...dreadful and a pain to drag on to the end by which time I just wanted to leave this load of wind...

ridiculous waste of time
