The Secret

Innocence can be deadly…

It was supposed to be a summer party for my friends like no other to celebrate our last year of high school.

I’d planned everything to perfection but as the night got underway, I never could have predicted how it ended…

Twenty years later, we are thrown back together when my ‘partner’ from that night is killed in a suspicious car accident. It turns out we are all being hunted.

Someone is picking us off, one by one, for what we did that night.

Someone knows our secret, and they won’t let us forget it…

Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
