You wake on a beautiful, remote island.
Sparkling blue seas, golden sunsets, barely a footprint in the sand.
Yet this is no ordinary escape.
Next to the wreck of a plane, a stranger paces. Another sharpens a knife, scoring a list of the dead onto a palm tree. Others watch from the shadows of a campfire – all with untold stories, and closely-guarded secrets…
This is no ordinary holiday.
This is no ordinary island.
This is no ordinary beach read.
Gripping, twisty and full of sun-soaked atmosphere, THE CASTAWAYS will whisk you far away to the island – and never let you go.

Customer Reviews
Emotionally Charged
This is a tale mainly to do with two sisters Lori and Erin. The story flip flops between the sisters points of view but somehow it is seamless.
They both go off to Fiji and this should have been a great trip until they fallout. They are supposed to visit one of the remote islands Lori boards the plan Erin doesn’t. The plane disappears and never makes it back leaving Erin devastated in bits.
What has happened to the plane? Are there any survivors? How does Erin deal with it....
So emotional and one of those books you easily get engrossed in
The Castaways
This book kept me gripped on every page. It was so graphically described.
Telling the story of a powerful bond between 2 sisters and the reality of what can happen.
An excellent read but maybe not one to read before flying!
Fantastic
Read in a day and a half, the mystery was so gripping. Whenever I wasn’t reading it I could barely focus on anything else.
