Event Description

Join us to hear from Ali Lowe, whose latest gripping, twisty and suspenseful destination thriller, "The Private Island" is perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and White Lotus. Ali will be joined in conversation by Vanessa McCausland, former journalist and now internationally published author of five books, most recently "The Last Illusion of Paige White".

'Ali Lowe is swiftly moving into the footprints of Liane Moriarty' The Australian

New Year's Eve, Loloma Island, Fiji. At one of the most exclusive island resorts in the Pacific ocean, the champagne is poured, the fireworks are ready, and the countdown to new year is just beginning. It's set to be a night that no one will forget.

Especially when a body washes up on the shore...

But it's impossible to find answers when everyone here has a motive.

The billionaire's daughter, glamorous, untouchable, hungry for her inheritance.
The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.
The young dive instructor, in way over his head and struggling to stay afloat.
The husband, blinded by desire, in all the wrong ways.
And the lover, hidden in the shadows, where no one can see them....

One person's holiday of a lifetime is about to be the last they'll ever have.

In partnership with...
