Publisher's summary

Five old friends.
One glamping weekend.
A storm that will change everything.

Max and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. They invite old university friends – TV star Dominic, doctor and new mum Kira, and free-spirited Jim and Suze – and their children for a trial weekend but the reunion quickly veers off-course.
First, there’s The Incident around the campfire on the first night. The following afternoon, a storm quickly develops off the rugged North Coast. When one of their group goes missing, all hell breaks loose. And as the winds batter the bell-tents, emotions run high and tension mounts for all the characters.
Who is lying in hospital, who has gone missing and who is the body on the beach below the cliffs . . .?

Gripping, cleverly structured and brimming with secrets and lies, this is a masterclass in narrative tension and a chilling exploration of the ways in which aspiration and anxiety collide. It will keep you guessing until the very end.

Critic reviews

'This beautifully crafted mystery . . . has a moral at its heart that sets it apart from some other crime stories' – Daily Mail

'A compelling thriller told with real emotional insight and depth. It was a pleasure to be transported to the wildest edge of Cornwall and have a ringside seat as a group of old friends are pushed to their absolute limits. An absolute page-turner!’ – Lucy Clarke

‘Tension that will keep you gripped until the final page . . . an immaculately plotted mystery with vibes to rival Agatha Christie’ – My Weekly

‘Full of twists and turns, as well as a mystery that keeps you guessing, this menacing and surprising read has no shortage of suspects’ – Heat

'This brilliant read is full of secrets, lies and tension – we love!' – Fabulous Magazine

‘Plenty of twists to keep you guessing’ – Woman's Weekly

'Hannah Richell is masterful, deploying white-knuckle pacing, pitch-perfect prose, and characters whose emotional depth is fully mined, making the twists feel maximally earned and resonant. Gripping, clever, and as enjoyable to curl up with as a Christie – I inhaled it in a day!’ – Jaclyn Goldis, author of The Chateau

'What a gripping read! Such a compelling mystery, and so cleverly plotted it kept me up late, flipping the pages to find out what had happened’ – Kate Webb, author of Stay Buried

'I was completely caught up and really didn't see the final reveal coming. The tension builds so exquisitely that I simply couldn't stop reading. Also beautifully drawn characters who are all too real and often all too suspicious. Terrific’ – Fanny Blake

'Gripping' – Bella

'Such a clever, compelling and atmospheric read. So many secrets and stories to unravel. A twisted take on the glamping weekend with friends. I stayed up late to discover how the story would end. Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley’ – CD Major, author of The Other Girl
