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.

Fun and disturbing

Keeps you guessing, unique situation. Could easily be a movie. I’ll admit I did not see the solution until it was given.

Great idea for a book

I really enjoyed this book! It kept me guessing throughout the full story and definitely did not see the ending coming. I will say I really disliked the narrator. Her voice for the male characters sounds like a voice you’d use to try and make fun of a guy. She also gave one of the females that same voice for some reason. I’d give it a 4.5 if I could because of it. Overall great book!
P.s. if it’s too vulgar for you, you’re a ninny ;)

Good story, whispery narrator ruined it.

I quite enjoyed the actual story, but could barely finish listening because the narrator so often gets faint and whispery to convey emotion. I found myself constantly wishing for subtitles, which sort of defeats the purpose of an audio book! When she spoke at normal levels it was fine, but it’s so up and down I had to constantly crank the volume to hear and I found myself getting a headache straining to pick out her words when she whispered. I would recommend reading the physical or ebook instead.

Would prefer a refund

I got about a quarter way through and couldn’t get past the fact that the book is super vulgar. Made me lose interest and my face cringe.

Good premise but that’s where it ends

Disappointing. True, I didn’t guess who done it— but that’s mostly because the simply didn’t know or care enough about the characters to speculate. There’s a lot of time spent taking deep breaths and little spent on building tension.
