'Bolton's dazzling plot recalls Christie at her most inventive' - Sunday Times

The billionaire's will promised them everything. But the money comes with a deadly price . . .

Seven strangers receive a mysterious note that billionaire Logan Quick is leaving them his vast fortune. All they need to do is accept the enclosed Token and wait for his death. None of them know why they've been chosen, but all seven desperately need the money and the chance of a fresh start.

When the group are forced to embark on a dangerous sea crossing, they discover they are connected by a dark secret from their past. As confusion turns to fear and trust to betrayal, the question is no longer who will claim the money - it's who will make it off the boat alive . . .

The Token is the latest compelling thriller from Sharon Bolton, the bestselling author of The Pact and The Split.

Critic reviews

Bolton's dazzling plot recalls Christie at her most inventive

Expertly constructed (...) high-stakes drama

This mystery reveals its cunning twists slowly (Lisa Howells)

A sleek, high-stakes mystery of greed and guilt

An intriguing and well-paced thriller (Natasha Cooper)

Needed 7 Narrators.....

UGH!

This Sharon Bolton fan was very, very, very disappointed.

IMHO, an audiobook with 7 POVs required seven narrators.

Extremely hard to keep everyone and everything straight. This book required an Excel spreadsheet.

Would have enjoyed it much more with 4 strangers instead of 7.

Not for me.

Lots of twists, really enjoyed it

A Gripping tale with lots of twists and turns. Enjoyed the actors and interesting characters
