Description

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.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Bea Fitzgerald and I love stories which is probably why I’ve shaped my life around them.

I write romantic YA fantasy fiction inspired by Greek mythology. My debut Hades and Persephone reimagining Girl, Goddess, Queen was an instant Sunday Times bestseller and will be published in ten languages (and counting!).

I also write dark, messy adult fiction. I love horrible stories about terrible people doing terrible things to each other and my debut adult thriller Then Things Went Dark is publishing in August 2024.

Outside of my writing, I’m a content creator, sharing my love of Greek mythology under the handle @chaosonolympus. Come join me on TikTok and Instagram for bad costumes and worse acting.

I’ve worked in publishing for several years, love karaoke (Foundations, Dancing On My Own and Mamma Mia are my go tos) and dream of one day owning a dog.
