Summary

The United Kingdom is in the wake of a long and depressing recession. Times are hard and the quest for happiness is even harder.

When a consortium of wealthy investors collaborate to find a solution, their revolutionary blueprint designed to reset the balance and restore social justice offers the most needy in society the opportunity of a lifetime.

Four specially selected families from across the country are about to play their part in a groundbreaking initiative set in an idyllic, sun-kissed Mediterranean location.

But when strong characters and differences of opinion are suddenly thrown together on a remote island far away from home, will this unique experience bond or break them?

WARNING: This story contains strong, bloody violence and frequent use of coarse language.

Top tier story and narration!

Such a good little thriller, narration for each character was exactly how I imagined it would be. Will be reading/listening to more!

When a free holiday becomes a fight to survive

When you win a free holiday to a new resort getting ready to open and find it all fenced in and the other winner a motley crew of misfits alarm bells start ringing, then people start disappearing one at a time..
An amazing book very well written and these two authors write so well together. The narrator of the book is great, you really get into the book and the different characters, some you love and some you hate.
Once i started reading the book I couldn't put it down so had to buy the audiobook to listen to in bed and relax

Gripping Story

I have listen to quite a few audio books over the years some of them I have struggled to get into due to the narrator's voice.... but this book had me gripped from the start. The narration from Sally Swift is second to none. How she can delivery this storyline with the huge array of characters to voice over is amazing! No two were alike, varied accents allowing me to be able to picture all the characters clearly in my mind, The storyline had me wanting to listen to each chapter with attentiveness. The twists in the plot were great and kept me guessing right to the end. I definitely will be adding Sally Swift to my list of favourite narrators and looking out for other audio books narrated by her.
