Who do you believe when everyone is lying?
Two families have gone on a holiday to the island of Galanikos.
Geoff & his wife, they daughter Emma, their son Julius and his 8yo twin daughters.
Then we have David (who is Geoff's business partner) & his wife, their son victor and their daughter-in-law.
On the first night of the holiday Geoff has fallen off a cliff and has been hospitalised. Some say he was drunk and it was just an accident, some say he was pushed off that cliff.
Told through interview transcripts, every character is given a chance to tell their version of events, which may seem complicated with so many characters but honestly it was really easy to follow. While reading this I felt like I was the one interviewing these characters and felt like they were talking directly to me, telling me their story and trying to persuade me onto their side.
The thing I liked most about this book is the ending, because it leaves the ending up for interpretation of who is guilty and who is innocent, and it's really up to the reader to choose whose story they believe. But who do you decide is innocent when they all seem guilty.
Big thank you for the publishers, net galley and the author themselves for allowing me to read this masterpiece.
