After reading The Castaways I was excited to read this and it didn't disapoint. It was more if a thriller than Castaways with so many twists and secrets between the different characters. Set in the idyllic mamma mia style Greek mountains for a hen weekend which hinted at disaster throughout. It didn't become clear till the end who the victim would be or why they were even there. It was nice to see the true focus of the book on friendship and even by the end they all covered up for Eleanor because of friendship. The plot twists were good and how all the different storys of the characters intertwined but it did prove predictable even if it still captivated me. Also by the end my opinion of all the characters changed I thought Bella was the most self centred person in the world but ended up feeling sorry for her the most.
