Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred. It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night.

Publisher's summary
A Waterstones Thriller of the Month selection and the Sunday Times best seller
A secret beach.
A holiday of a lifetime.
Wish you were here?
Think again....
You wake on a beautiful, remote island.
Sparkling blue seas, golden sunsets, barely a footprint in the sand.
Yet this is no ordinary escape.
Next to the wreck of a plane, a stranger paces. Another sharpens a knife, scoring a list of the dead onto a palm tree. Others watch from the shadows of a campfire—all with untold stories and closely guarded secrets....
This is no ordinary holiday.
This is no ordinary island.
This is no ordinary book for the beach.
Gripping, twisty and full of sun-soaked atmosphere, The Castaways will whisk you far away to the island—and never let you go.
Critic reviews
"Beautifully-written, we’re tipping it as one of 2021’s best reads." (Marie Claire)
"Totally addictive, clever and atmospheric. It’s a rare thriller that melts your heart as well as it keeps you turning the pages, but Lucy Clarke has pulled it off." (Erin Kelly)
"Tense, unnerving and emotional." (C. L. Taylor)
