Synopsis
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.
My Review
This book kept me guessing throughout. I had an inkling as to who the culprit could be but this book took you on a real journey among some really unlikeable and detestable characters and others like Charlie’s ex boyfriend and also his godmother who I really liked and who I would have loved to see more of.
This book serves as a reminder that secrets will come out at some point and your past sins can come back to haunt you.
A book that I couldn’t put down. Will definitely be reading more from the author.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
