Publisher Description
Pre-order The Woman in Suite 11, the follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware’s multi-million copy mega-hit The Women in Cabin 10, coming Summer 2025.
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE meets THE TRAITORS
Five beautiful couples.
One deadly game.
Who will escape alive?
Lyla Santiago has spent months working on a research project that could be the key to getting a permanent job in her field.
So, she can’t really drop everything to go to a desert island with her actor boyfriend Nico to film One Perfect Couple, a new reality TV show that Nico is sure will lead to his big break – can she?
Two weeks later, Lyla finds herself boarding a boat to an isolated luxury resort in the Indian Ocean.
The rules of the game are simple. Ten strangers have to survive together on the island - and the last couple standing scoops the prize.
There will be sun, sea, laughs and plenty of flirting.
What could possibly go wrong?
But when a huge tropical storm cuts them off from everything, the group must band together.
As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla realises that someone is playing this game for real – and they'll stop at nothing to win.
Ten might have arrived, but who will survive to the end?

**3.5 Stars**
This story was quite the experience. I am left with mixed feelings but here goes my review. Ordinarily I do not like these type of stories about reality shows but this one piqued my interest. I felt there was a lot of swearing for my taste but there was enough of a story to that I glossed over it.
We meet Lyla who is a scientist, she studies viruses and is hoping her research project will lead to a permanent job. She is living with her jobbing actor boyfriend Nico who is desperate to get his big break.
As her research project is not yielding the results she needs,
Nico’s agent comes up with a part for a new reality show.
Despite her reservations Lyla relents as it means they have to be a couple to enter.
Before they know it they are off to a luxury resort in the Indian Ocean.
As with all these types of shows there are many rules. After a questionnaire there is a surprise elimination then, they are faced with a storm which means all bets are off.
Soon the once idyllic resort becomes anything but. The game becomes more dangerous as they find out to their cost that there is a killer amongst them. Then it becomes a fight for survival. Five couples enter the show, who will be left standing?…
