Latest Reads: The Island Ben McPherson.

A horrifying nightmare…
A summer camp for teens, on a beautiful island. It should have been a haven. But it soon becomes hell on earth when two men start shooting.
A country in shock…
The families gather, desperately hoping their children have survived. Some have their prayers answered. Some must confront their worst nightmare.
A family that will never be the same again…
Cal and Elsa’s daughter Licia was on the island, but no one can find any trace of her. Delving into their daughter’s life, they uncover some shocking secrets. What really happened to Licia that day? Did she survive the shooting, or is she gone forever?

I loved this authors first novel so I was very much looking forward to this one and it didnt disappoint.

The Island is a claustrophobic thriller come family drama that opens with a horrifying act of violence, giving the reader a bird’s eye view as it unfolds. From then on in it is a mystery that is extremely entertaining whilst asking a lot of relevant questions about society today.

A deeply moving and cleverly woven tale of heroes and villains, of family secrets and obscured truths, The Island manages to be a thought provoking tale and becomes more of a page turner as it goes. It also has the benefit of an ending that may keep you up at night wondering about your own moral centre.

Overall a really terrific read. I have no problem highly recommending it.
