A Guardian Audiobook Of The Week
Includes an exclusive bonus interview between Paula Hawkins and Gemma Whelan.
For twelve hours each day, the Scottish island of Eris is cut off from the mainland. No way in. No way out.
The island’s only house was once home to Vanessa, whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago. Now this remote and beautiful place is home to Grace . . . a solitary creature of the tides, guarding the island’s past.
But far away in London, a stranger has just made a startling discovery - a human bone where no human bone should be. And in that moment Grace’s precious isolation is threatened.
How will she respond? Can she be trusted? Or is it Grace who should be afraid?
Suddenly this is a very dangerous time to be alone . . .

The prose vividly brings the isolated setting to life, creating a haunting backdrop for the story. Hawkins explores the mental and physical effects of isolation in a way that feels both unsettling and deeply compelling, making the characters’ experiences all the more gripping.
Gemma Whelan is the perfect narrator for this audiobook. She gives each character a distinct voice and adds depth to the story, enhancing both the atmosphere and the emotional weight.
A haunting, immersive listen—highly recommended.
