Lucy Clarke…. She’s quickly becoming one of my fav thriller authors. Just.. wow! I admit she’s excellent in creating red herrings! And though I guessed one mystery right very quickly, I missed so many others and was audibly gasping and talking to the book towards the end! It’s such a fantastic read and I highly recommend it! Also, always remember the third and most important rule: what happens at the hen party, stays there! 🤐🤐

After reading The Castaways I was excited to read this and it didn't disapoint. It was more if a thriller than Castaways with so many twists and secrets between the different characters. Set in the idyllic mamma mia style Greek mountains for a hen weekend which hinted at disaster throughout. It didn't become clear till the end who the victim would be or why they were even there. It was nice to see the true focus of the book on friendship and even by the end they all covered up for Eleanor because of friendship. The plot twists were good and how all the different storys of the characters intertwined but it did prove predictable even if it still captivated me. Also by the end my opinion of all the characters changed I thought Bella was the most self centred person in the world but ended up feeling sorry for her the most.

My first read on my kobo and I breezed through it!

Ah! Where do I begin. Aside from the joy and convenience the kobo has brought into my life, this book was a treat. I thought it was really well written for a escapist thriller and murder mystery, with thorough world-building and character development. Each character distinct, alive and believable.

The vibes were 🧚‍♀️immaculate🧚‍♀️. My favourite were the food descriptions and Eleanor’s breakfast preps every morning. My favourite chapters were Robyn and Eleanor’s and my least favourite was Lexi’s. Ana and Fen’s chapters were the hardest to read. The irony of not caring too much about the bride’s story when the entire mystery happens during a hen weekend.

As the book progressed, it became harder to get through simply because I didn’t one any of them to be the person found dead. Perhaps because I devoured the book, but I had grown to liking them, which rarely happens to me in thrillers.

Overall, a great read! I wish I read this on holiday. Would’ve been a great plane/airport read. But an off-day reading sprint isn’t too shabby either.

Knocked off a star for the predictable ending; though it did make me teary-eyed!
