Most are here to recharge and refresh. But someone's here for revenge...
This is a warning for all our guests at the wellness retreat. A woman's body has been found at the bottom of the cliff beneath the yoga pavilion. We believe her death was a tragic accident,though DS Elin Warner has arrived on the island to investigate.
A storm has been forecast,but do not panic. Stick together and please ignore any rumours you might have heard about the island and its history. As soon as the weather clears,we will arrange boats to take you back to the mainland. In the meantime,we hope you enjoy your stay.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Pearse goes from strength to strength in The Retreat. The suspense inexorably builds to a stunning climax. An added treat is the return of Elin Warner,who is a fascinating character one can only root for.'- David Baldacci
'With The Retreat Sarah Pearse confirms her spot as a world-class thriller writer. I only stopped turning the pages so I could re-read a particularly fine piece of description or characterisation. Superb.'- Steve Cavanagh
'I can't help but cheer for an author who ramps up the creepiness at every turn.'- Observer
'Pearse skilfully builds a sense of foreboding throughout this creepy thriller packed with satisfying twists.'- Sunday Express
'A well-written fusion of psychological thriller and whodunnit... Pearse smartly reworks Christie's setting,making her island at once a gothic throwback,with caves and talk of a curse,and a very 21st-century escape,with green values and holistic therapy. And she's very good on the relationships within the group as tension builds.'- The Sunday Times
