What to expect
They predicted Ivo would become a tycoon
They predicted Ayda would go on to become a hotshot lawyer
They didn’t predict that Lily would be dead
Twenty years ago, nine university friends made a series of predictions about what would happen to each of them after college. Now they’ve all gathered together for the weekend. Not for a reunion but for a reveal.
Some of them have gone on to staggering success, others to more mundane lives. And one of them is missing.
Before her death Lily seemed agitated. Even scared. In the weeks before her death, she called Maggie, wanting to talk but then refusing to say what was frightening her. Now Maggie is beginning to realise that not everyone at the house this weekend is who they appeared to be.
And those who are lying are prepared to do anything to stop the truth coming out.
An unputdownable page turner about old friends and new betrayals from an award winning thriller writer at the very top of her game, this is unmissable reading group suspense fiction.
Critics Review
-
A romantic tale of detection and disillusion, it is very well written and genuinely creepy
The Times
-
Dangerous things, reunions. Ego, jealousy, different bank account balances. It's a recipe for conflict. In Holly Watt's new thriller it might be a recipe for murder too.
Herald
-
It's a thrilling premise with heart-racing execution. Watt keeps you second-guessing as you race through to the chilling denouement. Thought-provoking and unnerving, this is a smart page-turner with killer secrets and dark twists, populated with characters who you'll love to hate. Absolute book club dynamite - a must-read!

Agatha Christie meets The Big Chill – I loved it! An intricate plot, intriguing characters, edge-of-the seat suspense – this has got it all!

This felt slow, long and too drawn out. Far too many characters to keep track on.
Even the summing up seemed to go on and on.
Great narration which maybe held me.
If you like Miss Marple who done its, this may appeal to you.GardensofPaper 2025-07-28 -
1.0 2.0
A bunch of unlikeable and unrelated characters spend a weekend together revealing the lies they told, making accusations and drawing wild conclusions about 2 deaths. A possible attempted murder and they just all stay around drinking and pretending they trust each other. Please! Long winded, rambling and boring
