IF YOU'RE HOOKED ON THE TRAITORS, YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS A GAME OF LIES... THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING THRILLER AND NO.1 KINDLE BESTSELLER
They say the camera never lies.
But on this show, you can't trust anything you see.
Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for.
Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won't just be eliminated - they'll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they'd ever imagined, and they're trapped.
The disappearance of a contestant wasn't supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she's watched on screen, and find out who these people really are - knowing she can't trust any of them.
And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.

Customer Reviews
*The Cost of Secrets*
Imagine being on a reality show with no idea of what you signed up for. Well this is just that. Each contestant has their own motives for getting involved with the show, mainly the money, fame or more and at what cost when they find out the potential dread that follows that their biggest secret may be about to be revealed. If you guess someone else’s secret then it will be exposed live on tv and that contestant is eliminated. If you guess incorrectly then your secret is exposed. They are in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the worry of their secret to be exposed.
To add to the drama one contestant goes missing and in comes DC Ffion Morgan and when a murder happens that they hear shouts play out in real time who is the culprit? Are they hearing what they think?….
Ffion Morgan is a complex character and often breaks rules, will she push her luck too far and what happens when she has to face the now DS Leo Brady who ends up leading the case. They worked well together in book one but is there a spark or more between them…
This was enjoyable even though I initially doubted the premise but I was drawn right into the story
Great compelling and brilliant narration
Loved this book.
Rubbish
Such a far fetched story line! It takes fiction into another realm. It’s based around a reality show with characters that are completely unbelievable. There is not one person you can relate to or warm to that can carry you to the conclusion. I gave up after chapter 12 and simply cannot waste any more time listening to this twaddle………..
