About this listen

What could possibly go wrong?

Jamestown promises to be a history lover’s dream, a reality series featuring 15 contestants who will spend six months living in 17th century conditions, their ability to adapt and overcome daily hardship judged by millions of TV viewers. Supplies will be replenished, and a medical officer will be on hand to ensure everyone’s well-being. Lucrative cash prizes will be awarded at the end.

Except that the colonists find themselves abandoned on an uncharted island on the first morning of the shoot, lacking sufficient provisions or a means of communication with the outside world. Tensions begin to mount—and bodies start to pile up.

Each contestant has reason to fear for their life since everyone on the island hides a dangerous secret, and any one of them might have motive to kill.

Convoluted mystery in which everyone has a secret

A group of contestants sign for a reality show on a recreated 16th century colony. The entertainment company sails away in the night and soon the murders begin, but are they by the same person and is the killer one of them? Irina Shapiro writes a tangled drama more intricate than Agatha Christie, and Jess Nahikian deftly switches between accents to give the characters life.

Disappointing

Struggled to finish this book. Due to different genre perhaps? Having read all of Irina Shapiro's other books, I was looking forward to this one. However, I found it difficult to focus during parts of the story, with too many 'he said' and 'she said' for my liking.
If I had read the book on Kindle instead of listening to audible, I might have enjoyed the story a bit more, although the narrator was good.
