From the USA Today bestselling author of The Girl Who Lied and Sister Sister…

Four friends.

A party to die for.

Who will survive?

Dear Carys, Zoe and Andrea, come and join me for my 40th birthday adventure weekend, full of mysteries and surprises, the like of which you can’t imagine.

When Joanne’s friends reluctantly accept an invitation to her birthday party, it quickly becomes clear that there is more to this weekend than they are expecting.

One of them is hiding a secret. And Joanne is planning to reveal it.

A weekend away in a cottage in the woods sounded like fun, until no-one can hear your cries for help…

A truly nasty listen with cunning twists and turns. The characters are all nasty too I didn't like any of them.
Makes for a very interesting read. Narrator did an extremely good job, but the male voices could use more work.
This book is definitely one I would recommend.

Loved it!

I bought this as one of the regular 2for1 offers. It was a gripping listen, but what I would say was that none of the main characters was pleasant and that can make it difficult for the listener/reader to fully empathise.

The narrator managed a dispatare series of accents with aplomb, especially the Scottish ones. She did, however, make Andrea sound like Anne Robinson, which made me dislike the spiky character even more!
