One Perfect Couple
Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension and ingenious thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post).

Barbara's pick.
A novel of surviving a tropical storm (and other elements). A combo of And There Were None... and Lord Of The Flies.
I could totally see this as a movie,
I enjoyed the almost Naked and alone mixed with real life survivor and crazy monsoon weather. Great idea and easy read
I would have rated this higher, but the villain of the plot remained the villain throughout. I kept expecting a heretofore unrevealed bad actor, namely one of the gals. Now that might have been twisty, indeed. Regardless, I listened on audio, with all the British and French accents, and enjoyed the fast-paced storyline. The main characters were Lyla Santiago and her boyfriend Nico Reese. They are two of the five couples who compete on a reality dating show called One Perfect Couple, alongside four other pairs: Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana. Most of the contestants are influencers, YouTubers with tons of followers, or wannabe actors, as is typical on reality shows. The exception is Lyla herself, who is a scientist with a doctorate in virology. And another ‘regular’ person, Joel, who is a professor in academia. The concept of the show is that people get voted off the island after certain challenges. But unbeknownst to the contestants, the ones who remain might get paired up differently from the one partner they came with. The contestants don’t know about this until they are all on a boat from Jakarta, heading to this tropical paradise. What was billed as a sort of Bachelor in Paradise, but with couples, becomes instead Survivor, with a Lord of the Flies scenario, when a massive storm wrecks the production. Supplies and lives are threatened. When the villain, a bully, seemingly begins killing the other males and overpowering the females by hoarding the food and water, the women become a band of sisters, working together out of desperation to survive. I liked the way it ended. The main character got closure on her relationship. But what a cost she had to pay.
