Lucy Clarke…. She’s quickly becoming one of my fav thriller authors. Just.. wow! I admit she’s excellent in creating red herrings! And though I guessed one mystery right very quickly, I missed so many others and was audibly gasping and talking to the book towards the end! It’s such a fantastic read and I highly recommend it! Also, always remember the third and most important rule: what happens at the hen party, stays there! 🤐🤐

I loved this fast paced, twisty, psychological thriller. It was a quick read, binge-worthy, with a pretty good twist ending that reminded me a bit of Big Little Lies (Iykyk). This was my first Lucy Clarke book, I can’t wait to read more by her. I loved the setting of Greece, the bachelorette party (hen do) as they call it in England. The short alternating chapters kept the pace of the book moving. This one kept me turning pages wondering what was going to happen at the end. All the characters had secrets which also made the plot line more interesting. This had all the elements of a good thriller: lies, secrets, and one person who will unravel it all. Definitely pick this one up if you’re looking for a quick read by the pool or the beach! Thank you Netgalley and G.P. Putnam Sons for the e-galley in exchange for an honest review!
