The Weekend Guests

FIVE OLD FRIENDS.

A REUNION TO DIE FOR . . .

A weekend on the wild, beautiful Dorset coast. Seven adults, six kids. A nanny: the ultimate special treat.

It should be perfect: old friends, a stunning house, champagne and windswept beaches. But it isn't.

Past grudges won't rest. Secrets won't stay put.

And by the end of the weekend, at least one of them will be dead.

Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Lucy Clarke, this is a gripping locked-room thriller brimming with secrets and lies.

Utterly brilliant. Characters and setting drawn with meticulous care, and plotting as twisted as any crime reader would desire! -- Alex Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author
A fascinating cast of characters, and the ghosts of relationships past, combine to make this an unputdownable, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Highly recommended -- Lisa Ballantyne, author of THE INNOCENT ONE
