The Honeymoon

De: Jane E. James

Narrado por: 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.

Wow!!!!

Such twist and turns all for……. You’re going to have read to find out but you won’t be disappointed. This was such a great story.

I liked the different accents which help to follow the tangled story

I liked that I could never have predicted how the story would end and the twists

Twists and turns!

It was a little hard to buy into the “all connected” and on the same island at first. As it went on and the characters were introduced I really didn’t want it to end!

Implausible but Entertaining Enough

This book is pure fiction and should be approached as such. If you're seeking an easy listen filled with outrageous plot twists and a fair share of murders, this might be for you. The characters lack depth, and the storyline is largely predictable, including the ending that has surprised some readers.

I set my expectations low due to mixed reviews, and that worked in my favor. The story features many coincidences that bring the characters together in ways that stretch believability. While I’m surprised by the number of five-star ratings, it’s clear that some readers enjoy the outrageousness of it all.

I’d recommend this book only if you get it for a free listen and want a narrative that requires little thought. Just be prepared for a story that is implausible with shallow characters.

So many paths that had been crossed and then collided

I couldn’t put down. So many people in one spot and they all knew eachother
