Publisher's summary

Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Scratch the surface and look closer.

One is lonely, one is desperate and one of them is a killer.

When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear...and it all leads back to a book club.

As the lies, volatile friendships and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they are on the right track, a twist in the case throws them off course....

Betsy Reavley is the best-selling author of multiple thrillers including The Optician's Wife, The Quiet Ones and Frailty. This title is an unmissable new whodunnit which will appeal to fans of authors like Cara Hunter, Rachel Abbott, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.

Meh

Way too many characters. I didn’t love any of them. A little too far fetched for me

Quick but not great

It’s pleasant and cozy, but lacks characters you really care about. The narrator made it enjoyable though

Wrong Chapter Titles

The book was fine but the audiobook treats the prologue as chapter one, making the actual first chapter listed as chapter two. We read it in our own book club and it totally ruined everyone’s experience because half of us had accidentally read a chapter less than everyone else. It was also confusing when resuming and also trying to find a particular part. This is a silly error that should have never made it to audible. Especially since it’s a premium title.

Fun book

This was a fun read. there were some spelling and grammatical errors, plus some character confusion. One character said she had green eyes at the beginning and then later on, twice the character was referred to having blue eyes. Nonetheless, it was a fun read. Now I want to go back to re-read it and get behind the psychi of the killer.

So-so

Interesting format, plot could use some work. Character development could be better. Fun read, though.

Slow and first but great!

The beginning I was discouraged with so many characters and backgrounds but once you got the hang of it , it was like a great movie and I couldn’t put it down. Lots of twist and turns. Great read.
