From Goodreads
All Anna wants is to be able to sleep. But crushing insomnia, terrifying night terrors and memories of that terrible night are making it impossible. If only she didn’t feel so guilty…
To escape her past, Anna takes a job at a hotel on the remote Scottish island of Rum, but when seven guests join her, what started as a retreat from the world turns into a deadly nightmare.
Each of the guests have a secret but one of them is lying – about who they are and why they’re on the island. There’s a murderer staying in the Bay View hotel. And they’ve set their sights on Anna.
Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One deadly lie.
Someone’s going to sleep and never wake up…
My thoughts
I gave this psychological thriller a 4/5 star or 8/10. My thanks to the Publisher via NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
When Anna starts a new job in a Hotel on the remote Scottish island called Rum. She is hoping that it will be a new start and that she might finally be able to escape the insomnia (and get some well deserved sleep) that she has been suffering from ever since things that happened one night.
As Anna is joined by seven guests in the Hotel, what she hoped would be an idyllic place to work, soon becomes a nightmare as events take a deadly turn for the worse. Someone among the guests is a murderer and someone is lying as to why they're on the island in the first place. As Anna becomes more and more suspicious, it's not long before she realises that she might be next.
This psychological thriller is full of twists and turns that will keep the reader engaged. It may even cause you to suffer from insomnia yourself as you keep reading in an attempt to find out what the heck is going on and more to the point who is the murderer and WHY?
I thoroughly enjoyed this well written story and will be reading more of Cally Taylor's work in due course.
