FIVE OLD FRIENDS.
A REUNION TO DIE FOR . . .


A weekend on the wild, beautiful Dorset coast. Seven adults, six kids. A childminder, the ultimate special treat.

It should be perfect: old friends, a stunning house, champagne and wind-strung beaches. But it isn't. Relationships won't stay still. Memories won't stay put. Then the parents take a night out, and come back to catastrophe.

Fourteen years earlier, five students in Edinburgh made an irrevocable mistake.

One they thought no-one else knew about. Until now.

Perfect for fans of THE HUNTING PARTY by Lucy Foley and ONE OF THE GIRLS by Lucy Clarke, this is a gripping locked-room thriller brimming with secrets and lies.
