Oh my goodness I couldn't put this one down after I really got into it. Basically the story is of birthday buddies that celebrate in a local pub. They're from completely different backgrounds. It was a little confusing with the present day accounts of multiple murders uncovered. But trust me, it will make sense in the end.
