Welcome to Happiness Island. If you don’t end up happy, you may end up dead.
Investigative journalist Hannah Dawes heads to a remote Scottish island, billed as ‘the happiest place on earth’, to interview the retreat’s enigmatic visionary founder, Nathan MacArthur. Powered by advanced technology, the serene wellness retreat promises to optimise the happiness of every guest.
But the more Hannah experiences the ultra-exclusive retreat from the inside, the more uneasy she becomes. Her darkest memories are data-mined in the name of ‘calibration’. Private conversations somehow shape her schedule. And beneath the sun-drenched perfection, guests seem strangely afraid to admit when they’re not okay.
When one of the guests is found dead in the retreat’s exquisite lagoon, Hannah begins to suspect that engineered joy comes at a horrifying cost.
How far is too far in the pursuit of happiness?
A twisty and high-concept thriller that fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware will love.
