About this listen

Three newlywed couples arrive on Bali’s Honeymoon Island, expecting two weeks of bliss. It’s a five-star luxury all-inclusive experience. White beaches, endless cocktails, and Instagram-perfect moments await. But beneath the tropical paradise, dark secrets threaten to ruin everything.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali.

Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret.

Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe.

Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on. And as bodies are discovered on days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, paradise turns into a nightmare.

Will anyone make it off the island unscathed—or alive? Welcome to Honeymoon Island, where secrets come to die.

This addictive psychological thriller full of twists is perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Lucy Foley, Liane Moriarty, Lucy Clarke, Sarah Goodwin and T.M. Logan.

Unlike a lot if other books, this one really kept my attention until the last line.

Plenty of twists and turns

An incredibly fanciful but entertaining story nonetheless. Quite Murder-She-Wrote ish
Pure escapism and also came across as very ‘tongue-in - cheek’ almost (although not sure this was the intention!).

Also final ‘twist’ in my opinion was very predictable from outset.

Incredibly fanciful!

A very well written and performed story but a ridiculous scenario. I know it's fiction but it takes chance encounters to an unbelievable level.

Fairytale

I was so disappointed at the end! So much build up but too many endings.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

Enjoyable story. A little predictable in places and a little incredible, but I would still say give it a go.

Good idea using different narrators

I don't know how I got to the end of this expecting some sort of logical ending. I kept hoping something would change and it would be tied up to become a lot more realistic. As it was, that didn't happen.
Completely farfetched and ridiculous coincidences. Had it not been free on plus it would have been a return title for sure.

Unrealistic and farfetched but I kept listening.

Pleasent read.

This is a book that you completely have to suspend belief on how these couples end up on the island and are related. The first quarter was a bit meh and I thought well it is free so it doesn't matter. But then it got really interesting and yes completely ridiculous but it was so much fun I just had to keep listening to see who gets murdered and how and why and how the next interrelationship developed. It was complete nonsense but so much fun.

Completely implausible but then really addictive

Very enjoyable. Great narration and plot. The scenario often took me by surprise. Warmly recommend.
