SERIOUSLY GOOD. INGENIOUS PLOTTING' SARAH VAUGHAN
A MUST-READ' ELLERY LLOYD
GENUINELY CREEPY THE TIMES

It's not the lies that kill you. It's the truth.

They predicted Ivo would become a tycoon. They predicted Ayda would go on to become a hotshot lawyer. They didn’t predict that Lily would be dead.

Twenty years ago, nine university friends made a series of predictions about what would happen to each of them after college. Now they’ve all gathered together for the weekend. Not for a reunion but for a reveal.

Some of them have gone on to staggering success, others to more mundane lives. And one of them is missing.

Before her death, Lily seemed agitated. Even scared. In the weeks before her death, she called Maggie, wanting to talk but then refusing to say what was frightening her. Now Maggie is beginning to realise that not everyone at the house this weekend is who they appeared to be.

And those who are lying are prepared to do anything to stop the truth coming out.

An unputdownable page-turner about old friends and new betrayals from an award-winning thriller writer at the very top of her game, this is unmissable reading group suspense fiction.
