  Guardian (Thrillers of the Month)

• This immensely satisfying thriller about a prep school scandal and three friends’ buried secrets had me turning the pages well into the night. The Reunion has everything a masterful thriller should: gut-wrenching suspense, a twisting story with blindsiding surprises, and a narrator with a mysterious past. It’s no wonder that Guillaume Musso is one of France’s most loved, bestselling authors.

  Harlan Coben

• In Musso’s masterful plotting, Thomas faces fresh dangers at every turn. The atmospheric finale – which unfolds at Villa Fitzgerald and along Smugglers Way, the coastal path near some of the most lavish properties on the Côte d’Azur – brings shocking revelations.

• Despite the ticking-clock premise, Musso takes time to set the atmosphere, with lush details that transport the reader to a locale that’s at once glamorous and also laced with a deep, abiding sadness.

• The French call it a coup de foudre: a strike of lightning. That’s how The Reunion zapped me, electrified me. For almost a decade, Guillaume Musso has reigned supreme as France’s most popular author, and with this, his American debut, he’s instantly poised to join the ranks of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo. The Reunion zigzags so nimbly – between past and present, from intrigue to terror, amid possible suspects and potential victims – that you’re at very real risk of whiplash. Witty, elegant, and peopled with complex characters, it’s one of the most sheerly suspenseful novels I’ve read in years – and among the most enjoyable, too.

  A.J. Finn, #1 bestselling author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW

  Booklist

• Despite the ticking-clock premise, Musso takes time to set the atmosphere, with lush details that transport the reader to a locale that’s at once glamorous and also laced with a deep, abiding sadness.

• Hitchcock meets Twin Peaks

  Repubblica

• With a sun-drenched Cote d’Azur setting and a deliciously tangled plot of teenage passion, secret assignations, threats and
  brutal violence, this elegant thriller keeps its nerve-jangling suspense until the very last page.
