TEN CELEBRITIES...
Arrive on a remote Scottish island
TWO WEEKS...
to win the prize of a lifetime
ONE DARK SECRET...
And the game turns deadly.

Ten celebrities have arrived to take part in a gruelling reality survival show: two weeks completely alone on a remote Scottish island, in the depths of winter. With some careers on the rise, and others whose star is fading, almost everyone has something to play for. But investigative journalist Lauren has one question - what does Hollywood megastar Nate Stirling have to gain by taking part?

With a production team that seems incapable of keeping them safe, a gathering storm and the unrelenting gaze of hidden cameras, the contestants are stretched to the limit as they try to outshine their fellow competitors and hide their darkest secrets.

But when a body is found, it's clear that the game has become a matter of life and death...

A really gripping page turner from start to finish. Brilliant first thriller and a slightly different twist on other books based on reality TV shows. A good plot and the author succeeded in creating a very atmospheric background on the island. Hope there will be a follow up book.

I’m a huge fan of Louise Minchin and have enjoyed her non-fiction texts. This debut novel borrows from the world of celebrity reality TV and creates a convincing set of characters and scenarios. I found I was guessing right to the end and none of my assumptions were correct. A fun summer read.
