Isolation Island
Louise Minchin
Investigative journalist Lauren Taylor never dreamed she'd find herself on a remote Scottish island, in the depths of winter, taking part in the most gruelling reality show ever devised. The last person standing will win the prize of a lifetime, but that's not the only reason Lauren is there. 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. When a body is found, it's clear that the game has turned deadly. And with no way off the island until the storm passes, the group have no choice but to play for their lives
““Louise Minchin, in her first novel, Isolation Island brings intrigue and murder to reality television. A group of celebrities must live as monks on a Scottish island while cameras track their every move. But there are secrets to be unlocked and motives to be uncovered. Gripping and filled with memorable characters, this updates Agatha Christie with contemporary ingenuity.””
