A brilliantly crafted suspense thriller that revolves around six women and the secrets that threaten to rock the foundations of their friendship.

Holly hopes her hen party would be a chance to relax with her friends and catch up on everything that she has been missing out. But she gets more than she bargained for when the weekend opens up a pandora's box of long-kept secrets, proving that their friendship was, in truth, a farce. And when one of them ends up dead, the women begin to realize that, not only did they not really know each other at all, but now, one among them is a killer, too.

A great round of applause for this author who has concocted a brain-wracking suspense in this fabulous narrative of a hen-party gone wrong. The plot which spans over a period of 38 hours at a converted barn retreat, is revealed through the POVs of three of the six women.  The suspense level of the plot was simply top notch, as I swiveled from one character to the next trying to suss out who the killer was. And my guess still turned out wrong.

It was a bit of a chore to keep track of all the characters, but otherwise, I flew through the pages in record time. The ending was simply fantastic and totally unexpected.

Overall, just unputdownable. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing a digital copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
