One of us is a liar.
One of us is a stranger.
One of us is a cheater.

But who could be a killer?

The six of us arrived on the beautiful, sunbaked island of Aegos to leave it all behind, our suitcases packed with flip flops and beach towels, our heads full of dreams for the perfect weekend away with friends…

On the first night, we laughed and danced under the stars.

On the second night we went skinny dipping in the warm, summer sea.

On the third night the wine loosened our tongues, the lies spilling and the masks starting to slip.

And on the final night it all ignited as we celebrated around the beach fire – for someone, the holiday in Greece would be their last…

6 women go on holiday to Greece for a Hen Weekend. Before the end of the weekend we know from the start that someone dies. 

What keeps you reading is not only discovering who it is who dies, as I certainly didn't guess, but just how it happened. 

Each short chapter is from the point of view of one of the ladies, and we can soon as readers see that things may not be quite as they seem. 

Yet even as the revelations came, I hadn't guessed most of it, and its certainly a book that kept me hooked and on my toes.

I loved every second of this rather addictive story, from the stunning setting, to the compulsively addictive, just need to read the next page, climax, this is Lucy Clarke at her very best. 

I was wrong footed time and time again, while not really having time to think of my own theories as I was turning the pages so fast as I kept wanting to know what would happen next. 

Brilliant!

Thank you to Harper Collins and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
