About this ebook

*A major TV series starring Sheridan Smith with Paramount+*

A SECRET BEACH.

A HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME.

WISH YOU WERE HERE?

THINK AGAIN...

_______________________________________________

‘Totally addictive, clever and atmospheric’ Erin Kelly

‘Tense, unnerving and emotional’ C. L. Taylor

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.

Lucy Clarke's The Castaways takes you on the holiday of a lifetime, in fact it may just be the last holiday that you ever take. This is a twisty psychological thriller which will tie the reader in knots of suspense whilst, at the same time nailing them to the edge of their seat. There are so many twists and turns in the plot, the writing is wonderful and the characters jump, fully formed from the page. A brilliant book, a great holiday read if you can face a holiday! Excellent.
