What a clever and unpredictable mystery! A group of friends who were previously employed together  reunite for a dinner party under the worst of circumstances- their former boss has died. It delves into a twisted game where they are each forced to share a secret from the summer they shared 25 years prior. This was a locked room mystery that kept me on my toes until the very end. Edwards has an uncanny way of writing from each character’s perspective so uniquely that I always knew whose POV we were in. This was a quick, addictive mystery/thriller that would get anyone out of a reading slump.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for the eARC in exchange for my review!
