About this listen

The captivating new thriller, perfect for fans of Saltburn

'Perfect for fans of tales in which the rich and entitled get their comeuppance… deliciously twisty' Daily Mail

'Flawless, beautiful, moving, shocking and wildly compelling… I wish I could read it all over again' Lisa Jewell

As the champagne flows at a glittering society wedding, one guest isn't celebrating.

It's been years since Victoria fell in love with Nick and was welcomed into his circle of privileged friends at university. Then life took a darker turn…

Now old friends are reuniting to toast the ruthlessly well-connected Julian Draper's marriage to Hollywood darling, Ingrid Olsson. As painful memories resurface, Victoria can't shake the feeling that some people seem to get away with everything.

But maybe not this time. Maybe this time, someone will pay the ultimate price.

Great listen

This book is so well suited to audiobook. The writing is exceptional and the narration really brings it to life. I felt invested in the characters from the start. I felt utterly bereft when I got to the end. Could not recommend enough.

Gripping drama

Coming of age and outsider angst with unrequited love viewed in retrospect and its affect on the dramatic present is captivating and stirring.

Character and narrative woven into a golden finish

I binge-read this as once I’d started I really wanted to know what happened in the end. The main characters are friends who met at University in London and anyone from a ‘normal’ background who’s experienced this sudden exposure to the privileged world of the public school elite will identify with the experience of Victoria, the main character. It is very well observed.
A fast paced and entertaining reading.
Lots of modern themes, pushy parents, misogyny, the unthinking arrogance of the wealthy - and some surprises to keep you on your toes.
Definitely recommend.

Absorbing read
