Summary

Five old friends.

One glamping weekend.

A storm that will change everything.

Max and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. They invite old university friends – TV star Dominic, doctor and new mum Kira, and free-spirited Jim and Suze – and their children for a trial weekend but the reunion quickly veers off-course.

First, there’s The Incident around the campfire on the first night. The following afternoon, a storm quickly develops off the rugged North Coast. When one of their group goes missing, all hell breaks loose. And as the winds batter the bell-tents, emotions run high and tension mounts for all the characters.

Who is lying in hospital, who has gone missing and who is the body on the beach below the cliffs . . .?

Gripping, cleverly structured and brimming with secrets and lies, this is a masterclass in narrative tension and a chilling exploration of the ways in which aspiration and anxiety collide. It will keep you guessing until the last page.

Slow start but gets faster!

Slow, first half, but you really get to know the characters. I am usually usually pretty good and guessing the ending this one surprised me. Very well written.

Vivid and exciting

The author and narrator really paint a picture for you, and bring the story to life. A couple of really great twists and turns.
Finished it in a day!

Interesting And Enjoyable except ….

I really liked the book and listened to it almost in one sitting. I thought the narrators were fine except for the swallowing and mouth noises both the female and male narrators made throughout. It may seem a picky small point but it was so off-putting and distracting. I was dreading and pre-empting it happening. It did spoil the listen for me. That aside I thought the storyline was good which kept me listening.

Predictable

Terrible plot which was easily guessed. Female narrator keeps slurping her saliva whilst reading. Waste of a credit
