BOOK DESCRIPTION

Four friends. One golden celebration. A game that changes everything.

Most people dread turning fifty. Not me. I’ve been counting down the weeks to our luxury holiday in Aruba – seven sun-soaked days to celebrate not just my own fiftieth birthday, but those of three lifelong friends.

Two of them are just as excited as I am. The fourth? She took some persuading.

With our partners in tow, we arrive at our lavish villa, bubbling with excitement and Prosecco. We’re here to relax, reconnect, and make memories.

But in the heat and haze of paradise, inhibitions slip – and secrets spill.

It all starts with a harmless game of Two Truths and a Lie. But what’s revealed that night cracks our friendship wide open. And the fallout is far worse than any of us could have imagined.

The countdown to celebration has turned into a countdown to escape.

Because someone isn’t making it home.



An addictive and twisty psychological thriller about trouble in paradise when a set of toxic female friends pose a threat from within.
