If you're a fan of reality TV and tense mysterious novels then this is an ideal read for you.
Lauren is an investigative journalist and when she discovers that a famous Hollywood Actor is booked to join others on Isolation Island for 2 weeks she accepts the offer to be part of the group. It's set on a remote monastery in Scotland and from day 1 there are major problems with safety. And when a really bad storm threatens production all contestants are told to stay in the great hall, but after a massive argument one of the party is found dead the next day.
Lauren then realises she has to use her journalistic skills to discover how they died, potentially causing a risk to her own life
This was a fairly fast paced thriller with a few red herrings thrown in. A great read
