The Blurb:
Four people walked into the dining room that night. One would never leave.
Matthew: the perfect husband.
Titus: the perfect son.
Charlie: the perfect illusion.
Rachel: the perfect stranger.
Charlie didn’t want her at the book club. Matthew wouldn’t listen.
And that’s how Charlie finds himself slumped beside his husband’s body, their son sitting silently at the dinner table, while Rachel calls 999, the bloody knife still gripped in her hand.
Agatha Christie meets Donna Tartt in this nerve-shredding domestic noir thriller that weaves a sprawling web of secrets around an opulent West London world and the dinner that ends in death.
My Review:
Reading the blurb, I thought “well, they just gave away the farm.” Literally, we know there is a dinner, we know who was there, we know one would not survive. But….there is more to these people than meets the eye.
It all started with an invite to book club and ended over dinner…. but there is more…so much more.
This is one where one really cannot say too much without fear of giving something away. So, what I will say, is that I enjoyed this clever tale and its twists and turns along the way. Told thought the POV of two characters, this book proved to be a fast and enjoyable read. This one had me guessing and flipping the pages until the very end.
Thank you to Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
