Chief among them are airily arrogant artists like Rage, who’s received a formidable advance from the studio to produce an album freakishly incapable of attaining commercial success. The shittier you can make it – a bad photocopy of a bad photocopy of what was a shit idea in the first place – the more they’ll eat it up with a fucking big spoon, from dawn till dusk, from now until the end of time. I love the way Elliott builds her characters and the way she allows us to see inside their heads; learn about their pasts and motivations. Secluded locations allow for the tension to really build and Elliott captured that claustrophobic feeling so well here. There was so little distinction between the voices of these two characters, I kept having to go back and check if it was Georgie or Bronwyn I was reading.

The author provides the perfect dose of character development before unveiling eerie details from her cast’s past, ensuring that we’re properly unnerved when their lives begin to unravel. The pace was slow and events took far too long to occur, the twists were predictable and the ending done by other authors many times. But, now, Georgie and Bron are attending the memorial service for Lissa, the strongest swimmer of the three, drowned in Kanu Cove. It’s easy to list some of the classic tropes Elliott uses to tell her tale, but that leaves out the unique flavor she adds with her own twists.

An intricate, twisting story…a suspicious death is only one of the secrets among a group of old friends on an isolated island.Meet Meredith, she finds herself in Barcelona and selling ‘gone off’ wine to tourists, she senses she is being followed, she is. Each character has something of their own to hide, so the atmosphere becomes sketchy when someone is watching them and leaving a trail of threatening notes. Lissa was smart woman who knew very well how dangerous swimming at this place alone in the night and she’s too skillful swimmer not to get drowned but here we go!

Nobody big except me" is the dream world of Holden Caulfield and his first person story is down to the basic, drab English of the pre-collegiate. He is the author of the novella Music from Big Pink and the novels Kill Your Friends, The Amateurs, The Second Coming, Cold Hands, Straight White Male and The Sunshine Cruise Company.That being said, the book was well written, the characters relatable and the setting definitely had me craving for a holiday. But as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, Stelfox must take the notion of cutthroat business practices to murderous new levels in a desperate attempt to salvage his career. We get lost in the thoughts of Georgie and Bron so often that they seemed to blend together at times. In 2009 Niven wrote a controversial article for The Independent newspaper where he attacked the media's largely complacent coverage of Michael Jackson's death. Best swimmer friends gather to celebrate the loss of their friend Lissa who is drowned at Kanu Lake where is filled with mythical creatures like serpentine and the very same haunted place always likes to take and take!
