Book synopsis

On holiday in Chile with her best friend Kristen, Emily is having the time of her life.

Until one night, she finds their hotel suite covered in blood.

Kristen claims a backpacker attacked her. She shouted, but no-one heard. She struggled, but he was too strong.

She had no option but to kill him.

With no evidence of the assault, Emily must help her hide the body. . .

Back home, Emily tries to forget what happened, but a surprise visit from Kristen forces her to confront the events of that night.

My review

This was a real tense physiological thriller. It really did keep me guessing the whole way through this book, which I absolutely love. This was one that I really could not put down and found that I wanted to keep reading on to discover more.

I cannot say too much as it will spoil the story for anyone wanting to read it, but that ending!!!! What?!?

I can see why this was a Reese Witherspoon book club pick. Absolutely outstanding.
