A novel to transport you to an island for a reality show!

I do love a novel set on an island. The ultimate locked room thriller.

When a novel is about a reality show set on one of these islands, then I am in!

This is the fictional Monk Island where the contestants have to dress up in habits and do whatever they are told. Things start off quite slow and the journey to the island is when we discover who is coming there and why. Who would join a show like this and why? Lots of juicy back stories to enjoy. This also made me really want to get to the island and find out what is going to happen.

Friends/relationships form slowly and my mind started to wander. It’s a good study of human interactions in a very strange set up. I found this part very interesting as it was a great way to get to know the characters as well as guess what might happen and how…

The challenges and games are one thing but I was honestly wondering what these poor people would have to do next. The sense of fear and foreboding was there from the start. I found that my knowledge of Louise’s TV experience would filter into this, making it very visual and snappy and I wasn’t wrong.

Then the island is hit by a fierce storm. Oh this was a good bit and where the book REALLY ramped up! Cameras go off, electricity goes off, there is no way to reach the mainland or someone to get to the island – isolation island becomes the very symbol of isolation……

Pounding rain. No visibility as far as the eye can see. Fear amongst the contestants. Then a dead body is found.

Oh this got really exciting and dramatic then. Think of a car going through the gears. faster and faster….

Ha! This was quite the ride.

Isolation Island is the place to be! Just have a lie down when you’ve finished 😉
