About:
Hannah smiles at her guests. In this grand house rented specially for the evening, everyone admires the sparkling chandelier and raises a glass to say goodbye before Hannah moves away from this little town for good. But the next day, one of them lies cold and lifeless in their bed…
The day of her leaving party, Hannah Ford is nervous. With so many secrets and lies over the years between her friends, and arguments between her sisters, is it really a good idea to gather everyone together? But her mother insists that, after Hannah’s divorce and job struggles, she deserves a send-off to remember. So they all plaster on fake smiles and put aside their rifts for an evening of celebrations.
In the morning, one of the guests is found dead.
Hannah is desperate to tell the police. But every single guest has something to hide, or someone to protect. The group insists: they will deal with this themselves.
After all, it must have been an accident. Perhaps too much wine, on a night where emotions were running high.
But what if it wasn’t?
And what if this was just the first victim?
An absolutely unputdownable thriller that won’t let you sleep until you’ve reached the final page! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, The Hunting Party and Shari Lapena.
Review:
First time reading this author. Started off a bit slow but I stayed with it, it picked up the pace pretty quick and soon I was unable to put it down.
Would we want a mum like Hannah’s, someone who’ll do anything at all to protect her children. We mothers will do almost anything for our children but surely there is a fine line. Hannah’s mother stepped over that line and in doing so put pressure on everyone around her.
I never saw the final twist coming and that floored me, it was also quite sad, particularly as the character was an innocent in it all.. or so we thought.
