What to expect

The gripping new thriller and instant New York Times bestseller, perfect for escapist reading!

The holiday of your dreams…
When Lux and Nico get the chance to sail to a remote island off the coast of Hawaii, they’re thrilled. It’s the trip they’ve been dreaming of their whole lives.

A tropical paradise…
Despite a dark history of shipwrecks and murder, the island is beautiful. But they’re not alone – another group is already there.

No one will hear your screams…
It’s not long before cracks emerge, and someone goes missing. Then a body surfaces, and Lux starts to wonder if any of them are going to make it back to shore alive…

Audio.
This didn’t start great for me, I’m afraid, and if I’m honest, it didn’t get much better throughout.
The plot was slow and the ending was incredibly weak.
There was a fair bit of swearing and the c word was used a lot towards the end, if this is something that bothers you. I detest the c word!
I suppose I felt this was maybe for a younger audience than maturer me!🤪

Can I just ask my American friends something? In Britain, we pronounce tourniquet as torn - i- Kay( short sounding i ). The American narrator pronounced it turn - ee- cut. Is this how you pronounce it in America?
I DO like my facts!😁
