After loving “I know you” I had really high hopes for this book. But it wasn’t to be. I always know if I’ve found a book less than interesting because writing a review feels like a chore.
This thriller focuses on a group of friends who met at university, they meet for a reunion dinner over 20 years later, and some of their families are introduced to the story.
There’s an attack during dinner, and the plot follows the “who’s guilty” journey, picking up on an attack close to the same friendship group 25 years ago.
Lots of the characters are unlikeable, so there was no loyalty or hopeful emotions from me towards them as I read. The story is clever, but didn’t feel up to the standard set by “I know you” - here it felt like an overcommitment to action and not enough credibility .
It did keep me guessing, and although it wasn’t predictable it was still presictable ish.
