What to expect

Dark, sleek and dangerous… ferociously intelligent. If you aren’t reading B P Walter yet, now’s the time’ A. J. Finn

The Talented Mr Ripley meets The White Lotus. Unpredictable, whip smart, utterly absorbing. I ADORED that ending!’ John Marrs

One of the most unsettling novels of recent years. It’s also one of the most compelling’ John Boyne

***

Everyone is capable of murder. Are you?

It started with an invitation to dinner. An evening of good food and good company at a luxury villa. But as the night progresses, the party takes a dark turn.

The host makes you an offer, a party favour he calls it: another guest has committed a heinous crime, you can end their life, stop their terror. He tells you there will be no consequences; do you believe him?

Your decision will change your life. Choose carefully.
