About this listen

 Ruth Ware, the powerhouse New York Times bestselling author with over six million books sold to date, returns with her ninth novel, which promises to be the summer’s most gripping beach read.

Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctorate research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure her contract will not be extended, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, The Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. This is the big break she needs! A whirlwind preproduction process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joe and Romi, and Connor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.

Alas, not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start going wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to reach the boat and crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. Tensions run high and fresh water runs low. Then, one by one, contestants start to die. Lyla suddenly realizes she and Nico are trapped on the island with a murderer on the loose…and nowhere to hide.

A fast-paced, spellbinding thriller rife with intrigue and characters that feel true to life, this novel proves yet again that Ruth Ware is the queen of psychological suspense. Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Exciting

Another good one from Ruth Ware and as usual the narrator was fantastic! A little less of a thriller than usual but still a great listen!

Sorry to offend anyone who liked this book but what a bore. The story is ridiculous, the narrator is awful, trying men’s voices, women’s voices and everything in between. I listened to the whole book which was quite painful. Not my “cup of tea” as the British would say.

Silly Drivel

Absolutely gripping! I loved the reality show on a remote island setup—it added such a unique, high-stakes twist to the classic Ruth Ware suspense. The tension between the contestants, the secrets, the survival element... it was like Survivor meets a murder mystery, and I was hooked. Perfect pacing, great narration, and nonstop chills. Couldn’t stop listening!.
