"One Perfect Couple" ist der neuste Thriller on Ruth Ware und hat mich umgehauen. Die Autorin erzählt eine rasante, spannende und nervenzerreißende Geschichte, in der vermeintliche Stereotype im Paradies aufeinanderknallen. Gleichzeitig rechnet Ware mit dem Reality-TV-Hype ab und zeigt die hässliche Seite solch einer Produktion.
Die Geschichte wird von Lyla erzählt. Sie ist bodenständig, rational und gegenüber ihrem Partner Nico unterstützend. Der Trip auf die Insel im Indischen Ozean macht sie nur, um ihn glücklich zu machen. Doch Lyla merkt schnell, dass dieser Grund ein Fehler war. Als dann auch noch ein Sturm über die Insel fegt und sie von der Außenwelt abschneidet, muss die Wissenschaftlerin erkennen, dass vieles nicht so ist, wie es scheint.
Ich war von Beginn an von diesem Thriller gefesselt. Das Lesen fühlte sich wie ein Sog an und das Ende hat nochmal einen oben drauf gesetzt.
Eine absolute Leseempfehlung!

I was on edge after 40% in & could not put this book down.
This book was a bit different than Ruth Ware’s typical story. There was less mystery, more thriller and no child in danger.
• Single POV - snippets of diary/other perspectives
• Tropical island murder / survival
Read with audiobook & hardback.
Started with audiobook, but once it got intense I had to switch to reading. Only because I read faster. Still would recommend listening.
