From the bestselling author of The House of Now and Then comes a taut and twisty psychological mystery, perfect for readers of Sally Hepworth and Nicola Moriarty.
Bestselling author Marnie Elliott has invited her three oldest friends to a secluded holiday house in Tasmania. On the surface it's an excuse to catch up and drink champagne - but really, Marnie's there to escape the fallout from an upcoming exposé. Sure, she's told some lies over the course of her career... but this time the allegations go further... Did Marnie even write the books that made her millions?
As the days unfold, it becomes clear that time has pulled the women apart, and that perhaps they don't know each other as well as they thought they did. And when long-buried secrets and resentments rise to the surface, tensions spiral out of control.
And then one of them disappears.
No one can survive the harsh elements of a Tasmanian winter for long, and soon panic sets in. Did she get lost? Run away? Or is something far more sinister at play?
And does it have anything to do with what happened twenty-five years ago, when the four of them lived together in a rambling warehouse, fuelled by ambition, and where nothing - absolutely nothing - mattered more than being part of the group?
From the bestselling author of The House of Now and Then comes a taut and twisty psychological mystery that asks how well do we really know our closest friends?
