Publisher's Summary
‘Immensely gripping…Stayed up till past 2am to finish this’ Sophie Hannah
Four people walked into the dining room that night. One would never leave.Matthew: the perfect husband.
Titus: the perfect son.
Charlie: the perfect illusion.
Rachel: the perfect stranger.
Charlie didn’t want her at the book club. Matthew wouldn’t listen.
And that’s how Charlie finds himself slumped beside his husband’s body, their son sitting silently at the dinner table, while Rachel calls 999, the bloody knife still gripped in her hand.
Classic crime meets Donna Tartt in this nerve-shredding domestic noir thriller that weaves a sprawling web of secrets around an opulent West London world and the dinner that ends in death.

A little slow
I was expecting a suspenseful thriller. What I got was a murder mystery.
It felt like a long time to get to the good stuff.
I appreciate others love this book but not my cup of tea. The story was told in a pincer format, jumping in time forward and back to tell a story.

Great read
A real page turner and the narration was so pleasing to listen to. Really loved this book but found the the final chapter a bit flat.

This is a well written book with interesting characters. I’m not sure they all ring true but still I enjoyed listening. I’m going to read her other ones.
