"Chris Brookmyre is a genius, every new book of his is a cause for celebration"
Description
Jen Dunne is forty-two and getting married for the second time, but that doesn't mean she can't go all out for her bachelorette weekend. She's booked three days of super-exclusive luxury accommodation on a remote Scottish island for herself and six other women. There's Jen's tennis coach and a fellow tennis-playing fashionista; a famous pop star and that pop star's estranged ex-bandmate; plus Jen's future sister-in-law and the sister of her first husband.
The helicopter won't be back for seventy-hours and they have the island all to themselves—or so they think. As the cocktails flow, old grudges begin to emerge and tempers to fray. Then one of the women goes missing. The others receive a threatening message urging one of them to confess a terrible secret. But whose secret is it? Each woman has a darkness in her past she's reluctant to admit. But they'll all have to come clean if they want to make it off the island alive.
Reviews
"There are dozens of novels based on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, but Christopher Brookmyre's ingenious take is by far the best I have read. He makes you feel for and fear each character. He keeps you guessing until the very end—after an avalanche of revelations and twists. "
"Brookmyre is always a class act and it is a pleasure to be back in the hands of one of our best crime writers with this clever, propulsive thriller with a whole lot of heart."
"Tightly plotted and a lot of fun, this is perfect poolside reading."
