one of 2021’s best readsMarie ClaireTotally addictiveErin KellyTense, unnervingC. L. TaylorPacked full of intrigueHeidi Perks‘We’re tipping it as ’ ‘, clever and atmospheric’ ‘ and emotional’ ‘’

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.
