Drawing inspiration from Agatha Christie's timeless And Then There Were None, this gripping and clever suspense novel tracks the predicament of five couples marooned on a storm-ravaged island while a murderer lurks in their midst. Written by Ruth Ware, a bestselling author praised by The Washington Post as being just as clever and persistent as the Queen of Crime. Lyla is facing a challenging time. Her post-doctoral research has hit a roadblock, and she doubts an extension will be granted. Her relationship with her boyfriend, Nico, who is an aspiring actor, is also rocky. When the opportunity arises for Nico to participate in a new reality TV show called One Perfect Couple, she decides to audition alongside him. Following a whirlwind audition process, Lyla unexpectedly finds herself whisked away to a tropical paradise with Nico, sailing through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island. Here, the couple will compete against four other pairs—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, as well as Conor and Zana—in hopes of winning a cash prize. Shortly after reaching the uninhabited island, everything begins to take a turn for the worse. The initial obstacle leaves everyone shaken and frustrated, and a storm overnight escalates the situation. Isolated by vast stretches of ocean, without access to their phones or the ability to reach the team that transported them, the group must unite to survive. Amid rising tensions and dwindling fresh water supplies, Lyla discovers that this reality show is truly dangerous, with life-or-death consequences at hand. An exciting, captivating suspense story full of mystery and lifelike characters, this book reaffirms Ruth Ware's reign as the master of psychological thrillers.
