This dark whodunit explores just how complex friendships can be

It had always been the six of us. 
 
Since we met at university twenty-five years ago, we'd faced everything together. Break-ups and marriages, motherhood and death. We were closer than sisters; the edges of our lives bled into each other. 
 
But that was before the night of the reunion. The night of exposed secrets and jagged accusations. The night when everything changed. 
 
And then we were five.

From the bestselling author of HOME TRUTHS comes an addictive psychological suspense with a shock twist you WON'T see coming . . . 
 
Six friends. One reunion. Countless secrets.
