    About this audiobook

    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?

      Highly recommend this book! The narrator was great. Characters were amazing, and the pandemic theme quite fitting for our current state.

      Very interesting plot with lots of potential but very disappointing.
      The characters were unlikeable, you don't really connect to any of them and the way they react are just not realistic, eg. people are dying and there's zero to no emotional reactions! Example: Lucy and Mac's conversation, give me a break lol.

      Unlikeable characters, obvious antagonist from beginning. Liked the setting though

      Please Don’t NOT listen to this because of my review. You might like it..I normally don’t write negative reviews… but i tried multiple times, over a few month period, to get into this book but I could NOT get passed chapter 1… all of the “social distancing”, “Covid” test crap was a huge turn off and felt way too cringey. I was in the minority during that time(and still am) that opposed the masks, vAxn’s etc. soo hearing that stuff in books, seeing it in video games, movies etc just feels too much like “propaganda”.. So yeah I would still recommend listening because YOU may like it. Just giving my two cents ??‍♂️
