Nominee:Anthony Award -Novel (2020)

For fans of thrilling contemporary suspense, Rachel Howzell Hall's brilliant stand-alone novel brings seven sinners to a private island for a reckoning that will leave you breathless.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime.

Delighted by a surprise invitation, Miriam Macy sails off to a luxurious private island off the coast of Mexico with six other strangers. Surrounded by miles of open water in the gloriously green Sea of Cortez, Miriam is soon shocked to discover that she and the rest of her companions have been brought to the remote island under false pretenses--and all seven strangers harbor a secret.

Danger lurks in the lush forest and in the halls and bedrooms of the lonely mansion. Sporadic cell-phone coverage and miles of ocean keeps the group trapped in paradise. And strange accidents stir suspicions, as one by one . . .

They all fall down

Critics’ reviews

Praise for this book

"The twists start from page one and never let up--dramatic, thrilling and even compulsive." --James Patterson

"An intense, feverish novel with riveting plot twists."--Sara Paretsky

"Wow! What an ending! My head is still spinning! Agatha Christie, herself, would give Rachel Howzell Hall two thumbs up!"--Anne Saller, owner of Book Carnival

"A devilishly clever mystery . . . Hall's writing sizzles and pops. Miriam Macy is unforgettable." --Meg Gardiner, author of Into the Black Nowhere

"Tense, clever, and timely...a brilliant, modern take on the classic locked-room mystery, full of intriguing characters and harrowing retribution. Hall sure knows how to write suspense."---Kristen Lepionka, author of The Last Place You Look
