A story of two couples who meet in Bali on the last day of their honeymoons and go out for dinner.

One couple, Sophia and Mark, are living in London confident, well off but with a paranoia about their safety. The other, Erin and Jamie, live in a secluded renovation project; Jamie is as outgoing as Erin is insecure.

On that night someone dies in suspicious circumstances, but that almost plays out as a subplot when the couples are back in the UK it becomes clear that they all have secrets.

The book is told from multiple perspectives, which I love, and at first it seems quite a cut and dry thriller, but as things go on which narrators can we trust?

I enjoyed this book, but found some of the situations were a bit too forced, the whole reason for the original accident seems an over reaction and I struggled to get that out of my mind. There were a lot of twists and to be honest I’m still not 100% sure what was real and what wasn’t. The book seemed slow at times and then the last quarter was jam packed.

This was a debut novel from Kate Gray and I’m really looking forward to reading more.
