Resumen del Editor

Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension and ingenious thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post).

Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, 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, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find 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, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.

But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go 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 contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.

A fast-paced, spellbinding thriller rife with intrigue and characters that feel so true to life, this novel proves yet again that Ruth Ware is the queen of psychological suspense.

Modern premise

It’s fine. A fun summer read. I wouldn’t have purchased if I had paid attention to the narrator being Imogen Church, though. I simply do not like her simpering voice. And in this book the first person sometimes changed between female characters and her acting was so similar for both that it was very confusing and I had to keep going back to see whose voice it was.

Singular and absolutely riveting

Ruth Ware has done it again, but even better! I adore this genre and its classic tropes, but this book featured a truly original plot line, fascinating, multidimensional characters, and SMART and socially poignant themes. Do not miss this book!!

Want more!!!

My favorite mystery author and she did it again! I love the combo of author/narrator every time. When does your next book come out Ruth Ware??? Imogen Church could read the toothpaste box to me and it would sound interesting 😊

could not stop listening

I have listened to several Ruth Ware books, narrated by Imogen Church. this is by far the best! man vs man and man vs nature themes but with female heroes.

Was Gripping

I absolutely love Ruth Ware. I did not like her Spy novel and this one was my second least favorite. This feels like she’s pressured to write not inspired. Still, I love her and Imogen Church.

Another great mystery thriller

Another great mystery from Ruth Ware. Lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing to the end.

How thirsty can you get

Fast moving. Good characters. Fits in with today’s fascination with realty tv shows. A great summer reaf

Confusing and DisappointingFor sever

for several weeks I looked forward to another Rachel Ware novel. I was very disappointed w the novel and the narrator.

She’s back!

A great mystery…only one thing I’d suggest changed. Ruth’s last book was disappointing but not “Perfect Couple!” Great read…..she’s back!

Liked the twists and loved the ending.
