A reunion. A celebration for an engagement party. A beautiful house in a fabulous setting almost a luxury hotel atmosphere. That was the setting. The animosity, the resentment, the patronizing attitudes were still there. Amidst it all the story of a girl who died in a similar house years before, not forgotten by any of them, compartmentalised into a small box hidden away till this weekend opens a Pandora’s box from which there is no escape.
Each of the women had an agenda. Each had secrets to hide. One of them was blackmailing one and had her sights set on another. One was very quiet and very much in the background. She was the one to watch.
Not a single character was likeable. All rotten to the core but the story was a twisted tale which kept you wanting to read another chapter to know where it would go.Sent by Poisoned Pen Press for an unbiased review, courtesy of Netgalley.
The title and setting caught my attention right away.
ReplyDeleteI love the juxtaposition between the beautiful setting and the horrendous characters. But not one was likable? I think I'd struggle to connect with the story.
