What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Six thriller authors. One writing retreat.
You’d die to be on the guest list . . .
The Host
Legendary mystery author J. R. Alastor’s books are sold all over the world, but no one knows his real name. After years hiding in the shadows, he has sent out six invitations to an exclusive murder mystery retreat on his private island.
The Assistant
Mila del Angél has been hired to ensure the week runs smoothly. She has yearned for revenge on a ghost from her past for years – and this could be her chance to get it.
The Players
The six bestselling thriller writers accept their invitations without question – it’s an opportunity any author would kill for.
The Game
What should have been a week of trope-filled games takes a sinister turn when one guest is found dead, and the others find themselves in the midst of a nightmare drawn from Alastor’s dark imagination. They may have written thrillers – but now they and Mila must survive one...

Critics Review
Ande Pliego plays smartly with the often-implausible tropes of the suspense genre.
You Are Fatally Invited works most effectively as a homage to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.
When you trap a group of mystery authors on a secluded island, the result is wickedly delightful mayhem! It’s Agatha Christie on steroids.
Clever, funny and devilishly twisty, You Are Fatally Invited is a must-read from an exciting debut author.
Here’s an invitation you’ll want to accept: a sneaky, snaky mystery that nods to (and winks at) private-island thrillers from And Then There Were None to Lucy Foley’s The Guest List – but beats with a pulse all its own. Rush down the steps of those secret stairwells and you’ll trip over twists; enter the hidden rooms and you’ll drop through trapdoors. You Are Fatally Invited is a novel with black ink in its veins and a cheeky smile on its face. RSVP immediately.
Clever, funny and devilishly twisty, You Are Fatally Invited is a must-read from an exciting debut author.
Glass Onion meets Cluedo in this intricate and clever thriller – original and atmospheric.
Twisty and fabulously fun, You Are Fatally Invited is a locked room mystery that readers won’t want to put down. With its clever use of tropes and an expertly drawn cast of characters, this debut is not to be missed!
And Then There Were None via Knives Out meets… On Writing?! An ingeniously plotted, deliciously dark treat for thriller fans. I enjoyed every page.
This meta ironic fun thriller will keep you turning pages late into the night. You won’t know who did it or how or why until the very juicy end!
The debut of 2025! Ande Pliego breathes new life into the locked room mystery with a riveting tale of a thriller writer’s retreat gone awry. You Are Fatally Invited winks at the tropes while delivering twist after twist after twist. Mark my words, Pliego is destined to reach the top of the thriller writer world—even without killing off the competition.
