Reviews"Ware shifts from romantic satire to adventure novel to psychological thriller with a skill that cannot be denied." --Wall Street Journal, "Ware once again delivers the literary goods, with a cheeky sense of wit (including a "blink and you'll miss it" nod to one of her own books), a propulsive sense of pacing, and a fiendishly clever conclusion." Library Journal (starred review), "A fresh, adrenaline-fueled take on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None . . . absolutely ingenious . . . Bound to be a top summer 2024 beach read." --Booklist (starred review), " One Perfect Couple is a high-end beach read, but you may want to stick to dry land while enjoying it." --Air Mail, "The ultimate trouble-in-paradise thriller, One Perfect Couple is timely, gripping and all too plausible. The Love Island / Lord of the Flies mash-up you didn't know you needed." --Erin Kelly, The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Skeleton Key, "Ware once again delivers the literary goods, with a cheeky sense of wit (including a "blink and you'll miss it" nod to one of her own books), a propulsive sense of pacing, and a fiendishly clever conclusion." --Library Journal (starred review)

SynopsisHarkening to Agatha Christie's classic And Then There Were None , this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them--from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who "is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime" ( The Washington Post ). Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she's pretty sure they won't extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren't going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple , she agrees to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples--Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana--in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real--and the stakes are life or death.
