Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the unreliable narrator game is played at full intensity, with each character harbouring different motivations and guilt.
  • You enjoy locked-room style mysteries where past trauma bubbles to the surface and secrets become weapons.
  • You're drawn to stories exploring how a group of people can be complicit in a lie without ever speaking the truth aloud.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries or whodunits where the culprit's identity is the primary puzzle rather than their motivation.
  • You need a clearly sympathetic protagonist to root for, rather than five morally compromised characters with conflicting agendas.
  • You find stories about false convictions too upsetting or are looking for something lighter and more straightforward.

About this book

Twenty years ago, student Daisy Harrington disappeared one evening and was found dead a week later. A killer was convicted and the case was closed. Now, on what would have been Daisy's fortieth birthday, her five university housemates are invited to a weekend gathering. None of them want to attend, but none can refuse—the invitation makes clear that if they don't come, secrets they have hidden for two decades will be exposed. The man convicted of Daisy's murder was innocent. One of the five housemates has known this all along. As the weekend progresses, the truth threatens to emerge. All five wanted Daisy dead, but one wanted it more than the others. The question remains: who, and why?
