What to expect

A read-in-one-sitting compulsive thriller about schooldays secrets long-buried, new for 2026

They all wanted their bully dead. Now someone's granted the wish…

In a dingy pub, a high school reunion after-party brings five old friends back together. As they catch up after twenty years, painful memories surface, all centred around the disastrous prom night that broke them all apart. King of the class turned handsome sport superstar, Eric Stewart has led a charmed life since but his old friends know his cruel streak. The more they drink, the more a morbid plan takes shape, with everyone tossing in ideas for how they could get the ultimate revenge.

The next morning, they discover Eric has been found dead, exactly the way they drunkenly planned it.

When a cryptic, anonymous message containing a recording of their conversation from the night before starts to circulate, the group knows they need to act, and fast – before they're framed…or worse. Who was listening to them? Who arranged the reunion? And, most importantly, who carried out their murderous plans to the letter?

From the author of Seven Reasons to Kill Your Dinner Guests comes a twisty thriller with a dark puzzle at its heart.
