Description
Three years ago, Lexie destroyed their friendship group with a single, unforgivable act. Now she's bringing them all back together. And someone's going to pay…
On a cold October night, a group of old college friends arrive at a fog-shrouded lakehouse, summoned by a curious email that reads more like a threat than an invitation. From the woman no one has spoken to for three years.
There's the cynical best friend, the anguished fiancé, the careless player, the lost follower, the quiet survivor. Each with a secret they'd kill to protect.
But as soon as they gather, old resentments start to bubble up, and tensions are running high by the time the friends finally stumble to bed.
And the next morning, there is a body floating in the dark water…
A dark, deadly story that will consume you until the final perfect twist. Fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Alice Feeney will be hooked.
