A Guardian Audiobook Of The Week

Includes an exclusive bonus interview between Paula Hawkins and Gemma Whelan.

For twelve hours each day, the Scottish island of Eris is cut off from the mainland. No way in. No way out.

The island’s only house was once home to Vanessa, whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago. Now this remote and beautiful place is home to Grace . . . a solitary creature of the tides, guarding the island’s past.
But far away in London, a stranger has just made a startling discovery - a human bone where no human bone should be. And in that moment Grace’s precious isolation is threatened.
How will she respond? Can she be trusted? Or is it Grace who should be afraid?
Suddenly this is a very dangerous time to be alone . . .

The ending is a vague open to interpretation style ending which I personally don’t enjoy. The slow reveals throughout the book where great but ultimately unsatisfying as the ending doesn’t go anywhere

Feels unfinished

I don't mind a slow start, but this never really gets going. The story jumps between different timelines, different POVs, different locations, old letters and diary entries. Murders and other dark secrets are hinted at, covered up, revealed. Sounds interesting? Trust me, it really isn't.

None of the characters ever really came to life, I neither liked nor particulary disliked any of them. I didn't care what they had done or would do, what had happened to them or what would happen. The ending leaves some questions unanswered, and normally this kind of thing bothers me. In this case I didn't mind. Will X die? Will Y be convicted of this murder (and others)? Who cares?!

I really liked the other two books I read ("Girl on the Train") or listened to ("A Slow Fire Burning") by this author. Unfortunately this one was a major disappointment. Not a badly written book, just a very boring and pointless one.

The narrator is very good, though.

Mostly boring
