The captivating new thriller, perfect for fans of Saltburn

'Perfect for fans of tales in which the rich and entitled get their comeuppance… deliciously twisty' Daily Mail

'Flawless, beautiful, moving, shocking and wildly compelling… I wish I could read it all over again' Lisa Jewell

As the champagne flows at a glittering society wedding, one guest isn't celebrating.

It's been years since Victoria fell in love with Nick and was welcomed into his circle of privileged friends at university. Then life took a darker turn…

Now old friends are reuniting to toast the ruthlessly well-connected Julian Draper's marriage to Hollywood darling, Ingrid Olsson. As painful memories resurface, Victoria can't shake the feeling that some people seem to get away with everything.

But maybe not this time. Maybe this time, someone will pay the ultimate price.
