Summary

EVERYONE IS INVITED. EVERYONE MUST PLAY THE GAME.

A year ago today, we all gathered for Lucas's wedding at his glorious Cornish home overlooking the sea.

But no one was married that day.

Now Lucas has invited us back to celebrate the anniversary. But the anniversary of what? The wedding that never happened, or the tragedy that occurred just hours before the ceremony was due to begin?

He's told us that tonight he has planned a game. We have our costumes, we have our parts, and everyone must play. The game, he tells us, is about to begin.

What does Lucas want from us? What are we not being told? And what's going to happen when this terrible game is over?

Absolutely brilliant

The best audible book I have listened to for a while now. The story is great, gripping from the start to finish with a good narrator. I love the way Rachel Abbott writes and will keep coming back for more.

A nice satisfying comeuppance.

I did guess the ending, but enjoyed the reveal none the less. The author set the scene well, and walked us through the story in a tempo that kept my interest, revealing just enough. If i were to say anything negative, it woud be that, in trying to represent a male voice, the narrator made most of them sound a little bit gloomy and earnest (but don't let that put you off).

This was a great book, I listened to it in one sitting pretty much while painting a room, it’s the first I’ve listened to from this author so I will definitely be listening to more.

Predictable but well written.

This is a good book not the best by this author as it was incredibly predictable. Still worth a read. Beautifully read.
