Then Things Went Dark
Then Things Went Dark: A Novel | Bea Fitzgerald
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
For fans of Rachel Hawkins with a salacious reality show edge, Then Things Went Dark follows a cast of hot-headed contestants competing to prove themselves to an audience of millions...but with eyes following you everywhere, how can you hide your motive to kill? The first episode is waiting...are you ready to watch? No murder has ever had more witnesses... Six people land on a desert island ready to make their reality show debut. The contestants are suitably glamorous and dramatic – and they're also hungry to prove themselves. The stakes are high and with millions of viewers watching, losing is not an option. But three weeks and eighteen episodes later, five of the six contestants sit in a Portuguese police station, and none of them are winners. Because twelve million people were watching when Rhys Sutton died on camera, and someone must pay for the crime. The best friend, the rival, the girlfriend, the lover, and the sworn enemy are left standing. And of course, no-one is talking. But how do you keep secrets when the world has been watching? Especially when, just a day before his murder, Rhys was the most hated man on television.

A page-turning mystery about five queer characters (plus token straight guy) taking part in a reality TV show. Often quite funny, it's sort of part of the reality TV genre but also laughing at it. Lots of #bisexual chaos! Feminist critique of "nice guys" is spot on as is interrogation of the controlling abusive guy who claims to just be setting boundaries. They are all terrible people, but which one killed the guy who died in the last episode?

Wow, this book was a lot. 6 wannabe celebs are stuck on a deserted Island all in hopes of winning a half a million dollars as constants on the new hit reality show, Iconic. What could go wrong? Apparently a lot, by the finale one contestant is dead and the others are all suspects. I liked this book a lot and I actually think it would make a great movie, but the pace was slow and I really just wanted to figure out who the culprit was. 🌟🌟🌟✨
