The Honeymoon

By: Jane E. James

Narrated by: Rose Robinson, Sean Burke, Leena Makoff, Leah Marks

Three newlywed couples arrive on Bali’s Honeymoon Island, expecting two weeks of bliss. It’s a five-star luxury all-inclusive experience. White beaches, endless cocktails, and Instagram-perfect moments await. But beneath the tropical paradise, dark secrets threaten to ruin everything.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali.

Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret.

Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe.

Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on. And as bodies are discovered on days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, paradise turns into a nightmare.

Will anyone make it off the island unscathed—or alive? Welcome to Honeymoon Island, where secrets come to die.

This addictive psychological thriller full of twists is perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Lucy Foley, Liane Moriarty, Lucy Clarke, Sarah Goodwin and T.M. Logan.

The story was okay

I like the storyline and the different performers for the characters. "SPOILER ALERT" but seriously everyone is either a killer or dead. So am I just to assume the employee Puto an avid swimmer just drowned. unless I miss something the first murder/suicide was not resolved. the book was good, kept me interested but also annoyed as the main character was so passive and weak minded. she was so annoying. I want read this for a 2nd time.

Creative

A fun listen. A little predictable but still entertaining to listen during a road trip.

Worth a listen!!!!

I really like the way she tells us who is talking!!! The story was good. Don’t see some of the story coming!

Suspenseful

Surprisingly this book made it hard to stop listening very captivating!! Right up until the very end.

Karma

The premise of this book would be a great season of White Lotus. A good beach read. The improbability of these specific honeymooners being at the same place at the same time isn’t addressed but overlook that. The characters are all flawed people, we all have good and bad in our past.

Great Twist

I loved the inter connecting storylines and how the story was told from various perspectives. I did get a little annoyed that once I knew who the main characters were that each chapter had to be announced by that character’s name. Good book, though!

difficult to follow.

God story but flat at times. I struggles to finish it. It gave the feel of a low budget movie.

Loved it

twisty and fun !! Always interesting next vacation you'll wonder how you might be connected to the people around you haha

How a couple who are on their honeymoon not be happy.

A unique story set in a background of loyal friends and family waiting for the inevitable betrayal.
