Publisher's summary

After millennial ghostwriter Trevor Moore rents an old farmhouse in Fuerteventura, he moves in to find his muse. Instead, he discovers a rucksack filled with cash. Who does it belong to and should he hand it in...or keep it?

Struggling to make up his mind, Trevor unravels the harrowing true story of a little-known concentration camp that incarcerated gay men in the 1950s and '60s.

Not for Me

A Prison in the Sun is what you would classify as a literary mystery. There is a mystery inside of a mystery as Trevor, a ghost writer, tries to find inspiration to write his own novel and gets drawn into a murder mystery on holiday. I did not find Trevor an engaging narrator and was unable to relate to him at all. He was too self-pitying for me and I found that I couldn't really enjoy this side of the story. The mystery inside, the story of the island's mysterious building and the people who used to live there was far more engaging.

Overall, A Prison in the Sun is beautifully written, but was too slow paced (if you want to know a lot about a workout regime it may be of interest) and I could not relate to the narrator so it wasn't for me.

I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
