They All Fall Down, by Rachel Howzell HallRead about another entry on the list.
Seven strangers are all brought to an island off the coast of Mexico, all enticed by different invitations. It’s soon revealed that nothing is as it seems, and each of them has something to hide. Our narrator, Miriam, is unreliable enough to keep the reader wondering, but not so much so that we don’t empathise with her. With no mobile signal or wifi, and a satellite phone that’s mysteriously gone missing, the group are cut off completely when everything goes horribly wrong.
