I read this thinking perhaps a murder mystery as the blurb stated six uni friends have a reunion with shocking consequences. It was a murder mystery with an adulterous relationship throughout the book as well as a rape case (giving the plot away a bit too much BUT I wouldn’t want someone to read it in my recommendation and not fully know what’s within the pages). It was disturbing but gripping and there were a number of plot twists along the way with one final twist at the very end. Not for the faint hearted in anyway but intriguing to read how people perceive things and how they react (even fictional characters)

I did enjoy this title but it was very gritty and hard to read at times but I’m glad I picked it up and stuck with and will read more of McGowen’s books in the future
