Never underestimate how much people can change…
It’s been years since Zoe last saw them – since they graduated, drifted apart, and lost touch.
Years since Zoe ended things with Dan because the memories were too painful to bear.
Years since that night – the night an unexpected death shattered their close-knit group of friends.
Now, Zoe is invited to Scotland for a wedding – a grand affair at a manor house on a remote island. Apprehensive about the reunion, she hopes the long drive with Lily will help ease her nerves.
But things are far from simple. Lily has also agreed to give Dan a lift, and Rod, not wanting to be left out, is joining them as well, along with his fiancée.
And when they come into trouble on a cold, dark, desolated Highland road, it sets off a chain of events which will leave them all shaken to their very core, and questioning everything they thought they knew…
An unsettling and unputdownable edge-of-your-seat thriller set in the eerie mists of Scotland, perfect for fans of The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

So many secrets!!! Secrets from their past, secrets in their current lives, secrets from each other, secrets from the cops, secrets within secrets… So many secrets that it was hard to keep track of who knew what and what was really the truth.
The plot had so many twists and turns and layers it was fun to predict what was going to happen. While certain parts felt a little slow going, the build up certainly led to gigantic plot twists. A reveal in the end that, even though I had predicted it, left me gasping out loud when my suspicions were confirmed. I enjoyed the multiple storylines weaving throughout time, bringing in memories from their past that had returned to haunt their current lives all these years later.
The characters were a little challenging for me to connect with, and there were many of them. As friends (or frenemies) from high school, they had a surface level bond that was only strong until it was challenged. Since literally everyone had multiple secrets to hide, everyone was always so jumpy. If one of them stumbled upon others that had been talking, it was assumed that trust was betrayed, secrets were spread, and as a result unnecessary arguments often followed. Each of them were so quick to blame each other for things they didn’t even have a reason to blame them for, it got a little repetitive after a while.
There were a few moments of honesty and reconnecting, but I would have loved to see more of that and less finger pointing without any evidence to support it.
