Then Things Went Dark

Summary

PRE-ORDER THE HOTTEST THRILLER OF THE SUMMER!

Six people land on a desert island ready to make their reality show debut.


But three weeks and eighteen episodes later, five of the six contestants sit in a Portuguese police station, and none of them are winners.

Because twelve million people were watching when Rhys Sutton died.

The best friend, the rival, the girlfriend, the lover, and the sworn enemy are left standing. And no-one is talking. But how do you keep secrets when the world has been watching?

Especially when, just a day before his murder, Rhys was the most hated man on television.

Reviews

  • A delicious, murderous thriller that feels like you're watching a live episode of reality TV unfold in your living room. Fast-paced and addicting, I was gripped from the first page until the jaw-dropping conclusion.
    Lucinda Berry, bestselling author of If You Tell a Lie
