About this listen

Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One perfect crime.

When Amelia is invited to an all-expenses-paid retreat on a private island, the mysterious offer is too good to refuse. Along with six other strangers, she’s told they’re here to test a brand-new product for Timeo Technologies. But the guests’ excitement soon turns to terror when the real reason for their summons becomes clear.

Each guest has a guilty secret. And when they’re all forced to wear a memory-tracking device that reveals their dark and shameful deeds to their fellow guests, there’s no hiding from the past. This is no luxury retreat - it’s a trap they can’t get out of.

As the clock counts down to the lavish end-of-day party they’ve been promised, injuries and in-fighting split the group. But with no escape from the island - or the other guests’ most shocking secrets - Amelia begins to suspect that her only hope for survival is to be the last one standing. Can she confront her own dark past to uncover the truth - before it’s too late to get out?

Okay.....

Had an interesting premises & reminiscent of 'And then there were none' by Agatha Christie but for the modern day. It started ok but then got a little bit unbelievable & ending was weak. Understand what the author was trying to do, but motivation didn't come across strong enough.

Found narrator to slow & speed right up to get through.

So bloody evil

This Is the very type of story I enjoy. It’s surprising, interesting characters and a bloody ending. Well worth a read.

Great performance of a terrible book

The book started off well and had me wondering how the story and characters were going to tie together….spoiler…they don’t! The story starts to become just a bit too ridiculous about halfway through, but nothing prepares you for just how stupid the ending is. Don’t waste your time.
I do think the narrator did a good job though!

Ticked all the right boxes for the genre!

The book even calls itself out as reminiscent of And Then There Were None, and makes reference to multiple reality tv setups and similar stories, so the overlaps were enjoyably reminiscent of some good books and films. A few twists and turns but you can easily get ahead of where the plot is going pretty early on, but still at a rewarding level. Think Escape Room movie meets Glass Onion.
