This is Australian Rebecca Heath’s latest offering following her two bestselling thriller, The Summer Party and The Dinner Party.
Adele and Jason are childhood sweethearts. They are engaged to be married at Refuge Bay, surrounded by their friends and family members. Refuge Bay holds myriad of memories, secrets and tragedy for Adele, Jason and their families. It is the location where Adele’s former boyfriend, Ollie, died tragically. No-one is more devastated by the loss than Ollie’s mother, Melanie, who is in attendance. Someone at the wedding is certain it was not an accident and is out for justice.
Past and present events from 12 years ago, along with the three day period leading up to the wedding, build the storyline. There are multiple points of view used to hook you in with a big cast of characters.
I really enjoyed this book. The pacing of the narrative is balanced and is full of suspense and twists and turns.
I couldn’t put it down.
