About this listen

“Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley.” —Jane Casey

“A spine-chillingly dark novel that will keep you guessing to the final page.” —The Sun

“A wickedly gripping thriller with some devilish twists.” —John Marrs

Everyone here has killed someone.

There is no way off this island.

You will all either kill or be killed here.

One of these statements is a lie. But which one?

Amira’s less than thrilled to be spending the weekend with her husband’s university friends. Two of them are hosting a joint fortieth on a private Scottish island, with vintage champagne, expensive gifts, and soaks in the wood-fired hot tub. Despite the luxury, Amira knows she’s going to feel left out, not to mention freezing cold and cut off.

When they decide to play ‘two truths and a lie’, anonymously posting three statements about themselves into a box, years of resentment start bubbling to the surface. And then an extra slip of paper emerges, scrawled with three chilling threats. Who wrote it? And are two of the statements really true—have they all been responsible for someone’s death?

With no phone reception and no way off the island, the group are trapped here until the end of the weekend. And as tension rises and secrets are spilled, they can’t shake the feeling that they’re not the only ones here. Is someone watching them? Someone who wants them dead? Or is it one of them who has murder in mind?

Critic reviews

“A spine-chillingly dark novel that will keep you guessing to the final page.” The Sun

“A pacy, packed storyline with plenty of raised-eyebrow moments and a wicked plot that’ll ensure you’ll keep reading to the end.” The Belfast Telegraph

“A killer premise whets the appetite for this gripping, layered mystery, where literally nobody is entirely innocent, and the motives keep stacking up.” —Caz Frear, author of Five Bad Deeds

Good characters, strong storyline, excellent plot twists. A thoroughly disreputable cast all haunted by guilt.

Atmospheric Whodunnit

I will keep it brief. Not the best story from Claire, the characters were all annoying and I couldn't care less if they lived or not. The story is pretty far-fetched, and the plot unravels oddly, from one scene to another.

One other thing that is worth mentioning is the narration, I found it equally if not more annoying. I understand the need to build up to a finishing paragraph or chapter to add suspense, but the tone and amplitude of the final two lines of each chapter sound amateurish and too performative. On top of that the rest of the book is read like she's reading through a holiday brochure, just not for me.

Not her finest hour.

Full of obnoxious people getting sort of just desserts. Stretches credulity of course. Amused by Amira’s lack of ability to swim and fear of water suddenly being able to paddle board in dangerous waters after one supposed past experience, but hey, it fits the plot. If you like a story of a group of people with pasts, being stuck and unable to escape then this is ok.

Really intense with twists and turns and an outcome I never expected. I was invested from the 1st chapter until the last

Intense

The characters were well drawn, and the story moved fast, changing viewpoints as it progressed. The book was hard to put down because you really want to hear all the secrets of past lives and find out what has happened to all the characters.
However, there were quite a few instances when you have to suspend disbelief and plough on. Lots of twists!

Hard to put down..
