About this audiobook
Fast-paced and brilliantly unpredictable, J.T. Ellison’s breathtaking novel invites you to a wedding none will forget—and some won’t survive.
Jutting from sparkling turquoise waters off the Italian coast, Isle Isola is an idyllic setting for a wedding. In the majestic cliff-top villa owned by the wealthy Compton family, up-and-coming artist Claire Hunter will marry handsome, charming Jack Compton, surrounded by close family, intimate friends…and a host of dark secrets.
From the moment Claire sets foot on the island, something seems amiss. Skeletal remains have just been found. There are other, newer disturbances, too. Menacing texts. A ruined wedding dress. And one troubling shadow hanging over Claire’s otherwise blissful relationship—the strange mystery surrounding Jack’s first wife.
Then a raging storm descends, the power goes out—and the real terror begins…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The usual twisty, turny, captivating work of JTE with the bonus of an incredible setting... verbally painted so well you can almost touch it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/55 stars! This audiobook had me fully engulfed from start to finish. So much so that I am going to try other books by this author. Enjoy!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So in general I really like JT Ellison, but this was not my favourite. Writing was good, story was decent (although the other commenter suggesting this was a re-telling of Rebecca took away some of the mystery) but I genuinely disliked all of the characters, and their wedding obsession just made me roll my eyes every time. Maybe they're just not people I would like in the real world, but yeah. Just not a single likeable person.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Endless cliches and the purplest prose...a denouement that you can see coming from a mile away...awkward gaps in logic and narrative... and yet evocative and suspenseful enough that I couldn't stop listening!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed it, I think it's the author's attempt to retell "Rebecca" in the 21st century.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was such a well crafted murder mystery. A definite 5 star read.
