Publisher Description

From two-time Mary Higgins Clark Award–winning author Carol Goodman comes a new mystery, about a group of friends isolated on a remote island with a history of foul play.

"Carol Goodman is a brilliant writer, and she shines here.” —Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author 

Lucy Harper still has traumatic memories and lingering health problems from the 2020 pandemic. So, when a new virus surfaces years later, she and her husband, Reed, seek refuge on his family’s private island off the coast of Maine. Ostensibly safely sequestered with their five closest friends and family, Lucy should feel at ease. So why does she feel the weight of the island’s dark history pushing down on the group?

As Lucy uncovers Reed’s family secrets and the island’s history as a quarantine hospital for typhus patients, she becomes obsessed with the past and feels her own grip on reality slipping. Tempers flare, strange signs appear in the woods, and accidents turn deadly. Is the island haunted by the dead? Or is someone amongst the living taking their revenge?

Works for half the story

About midway through the spell of the journal in the past begins to unravel. At the same time, the attempt to tie supernatural events to the events in the present feels unconvincing, unnecessary and ineffective.

Pretty awful

If this got published, anything can be published. I rolled my eyes at the dialogue, the stupid and repetitive questions, and the fear based characters so many times during the reading that I got a headache. There was nothing in this book that a healthy person could relate to or be entertained by, I’m afraid. I only paid $1.95 and feel ripped off. I can’t get my time back. Where’s the Tylenol ?
