About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Six friends.

The holiday of their dreams.

One night that changed it all...

1989: The tunes are loud and the clothes are louder when a group of friends arrives in Mallorca for a post-graduation holiday of decadence and debauchery at a luxury villa.

A beach party marks the pinnacle of their fun, until it isn't fun any longer. Because amidst the wild partying - sand flying from dancing feet and revellers leaping from yachts - an accident happens. Suddenly, the night of a lifetime becomes a living nightmare.

Now: The truth about that summer has been collectively buried. But someone knows what happened that night.

And they want the friends to pay for what they did.

Critic reviews

Prepare to be utterly seduced by this gloriously immersive summer read. Secrets, revelations and twists aplenty! (Lesley Kara, author of The Rumour)
It's only 5th January and I'm pretty sure I've just finished one of the best thrillers I'll read this year (Emma Curtis, author of One Little Mistake)
With a to-die-for setting and elegant prose, this scorcher is a must-have holiday read (Fiona Cummins, author of When I Was Ten)
All stars
Most relevant
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. A group of Uni friends celebrating their graduation in a beautiful villa in the sun. Parties, alcohol, drugs lead to an accident that changes all their lives. Friendships and loyalties lead to decisions with terrible consequences all of which have to be dealt with 30 years later. Unexpected ending but perfect, I love a book that ends well.

Perfect Holiday Reading

Light, easy listen. Really enjoyed the narration but regarding the story I think it should’ve had more description and development of the characters. The plot had potential but there were too many unexpected and unlikely twists, and the end felt rushed. It felt like a 15 hour book condensed into 9 hours. I’d be interested to read other books by the author.

Got potential

Unable to listen to this garbage

I found the general storyline OK but was a slow story and got confusing with all the characters.

OK story but slow build and too many main characters
