A finely crafted suspense novel revolving around a former movie star’s secluded lifestyle and her circle of prominent acquaintances, whose impromptu journey to a private Greek island is disrupted by a homicide ― penned by the acclaimed author of The Silent Patient, a #1 New York Times bestseller.
It’s a narrative centered on a murder. Or perhaps that’s not entirely accurate. Essentially, it’s a tale of love, isn’t it?
Lana Farrar, once a recluse and a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, annually extends invitations to her inner circle to evade the dreary English climate and celebrate Easter on her picturesque private Greek retreat.
I share this with you because you may believe you’re familiar with this account. You likely encountered it in the media at the time ― it caused quite a sensation in the tabloids, if memory serves. It possessed all the essential elements for a celebrity press story; an isolated island buffeted by winds…and a murder.
We found ourselves ensnared there overnight. Beneath our long-standing friendships lay hidden animosity and a yearning for vengeance. What ensued was a game of psychological maneuvering ― a clash of intellects, teeming with surprises and twists, culminating in an unforgettable climax. The evening concluded in bloodshed and demise, with one of us discovered slain.
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I’m about to recount a narrative unlike any other you’ve encountered.
