Story
Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods. When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning - and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.

For Meredith Gale, ending her life seems like her only choice, and that choice is the reason she’s dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone or some thing has other plans for Meredith, and as her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?” Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her.

Story
It's been twelve years since the undead hordes swept over the earth forcing mankind to the brink of extinction. We now live like rats, scavenging in the ruins of our fallen civilization as the dead hunt us night and day. There is little left to scavenge, however. Grocery stores were emptied ages ago, gas tanks have long been dry and bullets are so precious that a man is lucky to have two to his name. Still, we survive. But for how much longer? Instinct and love have combined to turn Darwin's theory on its head. The strongest didn't survive in this world. They were the first to die, leaving behind a generation of orphans. It's a generation that's never had a full belly. It's a generation that has no idea what an Xbox did, or what algebra is for. It's a generation of children who never laugh out loud, and who have learned to cry softly because the dead are always near and the dead are always so very, very hungry.

Publisher's Summary
A remote island in the South Pacific plays host to a dozen strangers. One of them is a murderer.
An advertisement in a newspaper brings a disparate group of people to a tropical paradise. They will live together for a year, work and build a community, and film everything that happens for a documentary that will only see the light of day at the end of the trip. Almost at once, things begin to go wrong. They are meant to be strangers, but some of them have met before. They are meant to receive regular visits by the company funding the documentary, but nobody ever comes. And their only link with the outside world - a small portable radio transmitter - is incapable of transmitting anything....

Good mystery with picturesque setting
This book was pretty good. It starts off as a sort of "Survivor" show with ten people being brought to an island to live together and survive for a year. Things are fishy, though, when many of the people recognize connections between themselves, when everyone was supposed to be strangers. People begin dying, which means one of them is the killer. I listened to the Audible audio version, but I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it rather than listened to it. I didn't much care for the narrator's voice, and I did not care for her voice chosen for the Canadian, which sounded more like a "California Valley" or "Surfer" accent. I've never known a Canadian that sounded like her interpretation, and it sounded annoying and forced. To be fair, I don't know how much of that was the writer and how much was the narrator. Other than that, there are good twists and turns, plenty of mystery and suspense, and if you like the genre, especially if it takes place on a beautiful island, this book might be up your alley.

Great who-dun-it mystery!
Any additional comments?
This book sets on a desert island, where 10 people are chosen to build their own community over a years time. Everything is not what it seems like and soon they'll realize that they are part of a major setup and that they are all alone on the island. One by one they start dying and they only have themselves to suspect. Who can they trust? Who is the murderer?
I enjoyed the story a lot and there were no boring moments. This is a very good who-dun-it mystery in Agatha Christie style. The story is well-written and the plot is well thought out.
I also enjoyed the narrator Danielle Cohen a lot. I love a British narrator, who can change voices and accents, so I know who's talking. The narrator must make me feel like I'm watching a movie and she was spot on. I'll defenitely listen to more of this author and narrator.
*This book was gifted to me by the author, in exchange for an honest review - thanks a lot!*

Suspenseful book
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this book, very suspenseful. The characters and plot was well developed. Ten people on an Island who are suppose to be strangers, living on their own for a year. Quickly things start going wrong, and the first murder occurs. It has to be someone on the Island, one of them.
I did not care for the narrator, I found her accent hard to listen to. Took me a long time to get use to it. I think I would have liked to read this book better than listening to this audio book. Overall I enjoyed this novel.

Too far out of realm of believably
At first it was hard to keep the characters straight.
Once I did it was easier to figure out the roles each person played.
What was hard to believe was setting up an elaborate ruse to murder one person.
I’m glad I didn’t have to buy this book.

Language
The heavy British accent made the recitation so difficult to understand and the story so difficult to follow that it deleted the book after the second chapter.
