Until one by one they vanished…
For friends Riley, Sam, Mia and Scarlett, their trip to Whisper Island, Alaska, was meant to be a once in a lifetime adventure – just four young women, with everything to live for…
But as soon as they arrive things start to go wrong. First there is the unexpected arrival of Sammy’s drug addict brother and his girlfriend Opal – why are they here?
And then the deaths begin.
As the dream trip quickly turns into a nightmare, suspicion is high. Are they really alone on the island? Or is there a killer hiding in the shadows?

Plotwist !
Great plot twist in the end ! I definitely had my suspicion in the beginning but wasn’t sure of it until it was confirmed. Would recommend if you want the chills and thrills. Each chapter is a different perspective from a different character. I thought it was a great idea to incorporate that, never seen an author organize chapters this way.
Agatha Christie esqe
Four friends finishing their schooling take a break to work on their art on a remote Alaskan island. At the last moment, one of the friend’s brother and his girlfriend join them. They are able to stay on the island rent free due to a friend of a friend. Things go awry when they realize the rowboat they must use to go to the mainland for supplies is damaged. And then the killings begin.
I like the homage the book pays to Agatha Christie. Ten Little Indians is one of my all time favorite books. The author sets a great atmosphere on the island and everyone has a secret. The age of the characters could have had the book seem more young adult than adult, but it really doesn’t.
It was a great distraction from life. I really enjoyed it.
Just ok..
I thought the book started out good but the end seemed rushed and was predictable.
