Alice has seen The Island Hotel in her dreams. She’s convinced the clues of her unknown past lie inside its gothic walls. So when she’s invited to spend the weekend at the newly renovated hotel, she heads to the Suffolk coast with her ex-boyfriend Leon, determined to discover the truth.
Delayed en route, they arrive in Suffolk after dark to find the tide in, and the hotel cut off from the mainland by the sea.
They are collected by boat and taken across the choppy sea towards the island by the manager. And it’s not long before strange things start happening, and the chilling hotel gives Alice a sense of foreboding.
When two guests are found dead they know there’s a killer among them – but who could it be?
