Book Description:
On the last day of school, my friends and I gather on the beach to celebrate the long summer ahead. Sipping cans of warm cider and watching campfire embers dance into the inky sky, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. Until a scream pierces the night. The next morning, we find shy newcomer Pippa on the beach, sandflies gathering on her lifeless body…
I told the police I didn’t see anything that night. I was young, scared, and full of guilt. I heard my friends telling the same story. It’s a lie that has haunted me ever since.
Now, twenty years later, on the anniversary of Pippa’s death, another one of our group is found dead. As we gather once again to say goodbye, I know it can’t be a coincidence. I look around at the tear-stained faces of my old school friends – people I thought I could trust – a protective hand on my growing belly. The police are asking questions again, and I have an impossible decision to make.
Do I tell one more lie, or confront my worst nightmare; that one of us is a killer, and one of us is next…
Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Girl on the Train will absolutely devour this page-turning psychological thriller. Prepare to be hooked from the very first page!

What I thought:
A compulsive, twisty read in which the past seems to be repeating itself as one of Becky's friends is found dead in suspicious circumstances. It is difficult to know who can be trusted and, as the peril grows, suspicion shifts focus. Is Becky's marriage as happy as she thought? Is she being gaslit by one of her friends, or the father of her unborn child? Is she really in danger? Is the caring counsellor as professional as he should be? Just when you think you have worked out the answers, the next chapter has you guessing again. A very cleverly constructed tale and an enjoyable book to devour.
