Synopsis
Waterstones Thriller of the Month for April 2019
One house. Nine strangers. Ten days that will change everything...
The eagerly-anticipated new novel from the worldwide Number One bestselling author behind Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning HBO series Big Little Lies and smash-hit novel The Husband's Secret.
The retreat at health-and-wellness resort Tranquillum House promises total transformation. Nine stressed city dwellers are keen to drop their literal and mental baggage, and absorb the meditative ambience while enjoying their hot stone massages.
Miles from anywhere, without cars or phones, they have no way to reach the outside world. Just time to think about themselves, and get to know each other.
Watching over them is the resort's director, a woman on a mission. But quite a different one from any the guests might have imagined. For behind the retreat's glamorous facade lies a dark agenda.
These nine perfect strangers have no idea what's about to hit them...

Too long and predictable
Such a strange book; I love Lianne Moriarty's writing style but in this case the book was peculiar, overly drawn out and predictable. Wouldn't recommend.
Nice, easy, a little drawn out
I enjoyed this book, and the characters were quite believable and fun to read. However, with long books, I am always sceptical that the plot can be drawn o... READ MORE

Regret
Such a strange plot line making and you want the book to end. Liane Moriarty's books are very much hit and miss, and this was sadly a miss.

4/5
Fun and easy to read!
Struggle bus uphill
I kept waiting for something to happen, it never did. What a waste of great characters
Not For Me
I can admire the good things but overall this novel was really over anticipated for my taste.
Nine Perfect Strangers
A great idea that starts off well but halfway through becomes unbelievable and farcical.
Lost the plot
