What to expect
They won’t all live to tell the tale…
Seven friends. One killer. No escape…
A group of childhood friends are reunited at a luxury inn on a remote west coast peninsula in Ireland. But as a storm builds outside, the dark events that marred their childhoods threaten to resurface.
And when a body is discovered, the group faces a shocking realisation: a killer is among them, and not everyone will escape with their lives…
‘Almost unbearably tense and shocking’ IRISH INDEPENDENT

Critics Review
-
‘Unfolds in a delirious frenzy. I Confess is funny and sad and moving, a page-turner and a treat’ Irish Times
‘An intricate superbly paced plot, evoking a menacing undertone that starts on the first page and doesn’t let up until the very last sentence.’ Sunday Independent (Ireland)
Praise for Alex Barclay:
‘Ren Bryce becomes a more compelling character with each successive novel … sharply observed’ Declan Hughes, Irish Times
‘A well-up-to-scratch Barclay keeps this small-town tale rattling along at an enjoyably breakneck speed to a most unexpected denouement’ Irish Examiner
‘The pace is fast, without feeling rushed; the twists never feel forced; and the denouement, when it comes, is almost unbearably intense and shocking’ Irish Independent
‘An intense, frightening read … gripping throughout’ Woman’s Way
‘Snappy dialogue … a meaty read’ Irish Independent
‘Cleverly paced, with Barclay drawing out the suspense but giving you just enough information to keep you hooked’ Hot Press
‘Gripping, stylish, convincing’ Sunday Times (Ireland)
‘Tense, no-punches-pulled thriller that will have you on the edge of your deckchair.’ Woman and Home
‘Right now, she’s the rising star of the hard-boiled crime fiction world, combining wild characters, surprising plots and massive backdrops with a touch of dry humour’ Mirror
