Summary

Would you sign up to a medical trial if you didn’t know the possible side effects?           

18-40? PAID CLINICAL TRIAL IN THE CANARY ISLANDS — UP TO £20,000 TAX FREE  

It seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. An all-inclusive luxury trip abroad, all you need to do is take a pill every day and keep a diary.

Except you don’t know anything about the drug or what its side effects might be.

The headaches start, a dull ache at first. Every day worse than the last.

Then a body is found.

Everyone is a suspect. Anyone could be a killer. Even you....

2022’s biggest summer thriller, for fans of Alex Michaelides, T. M. Logan and JP Delaney.

Critic reviews

"Intelligent and thought-provoking." (Victoria Selman)

I enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this book. I had read some bad reviews which seemed to focus on the ending. The ending was odd, true, but I found the book really exciting

Hooked from the beginning

this book has me hooked from the beginning and even though I'd guessed the ending kind of.. I guess maybe a few more chapters could have really ended the book well.... guess I feel tiniest bit cheated on the ended.... had me thinking of how I would have ended the book and wishing the author had done so.
I did enjoy though.
