Summary

A golden summer, and six talented teenagers are looking forward to the brightest of futures—until a daredevil game goes horribly wrong, leaving three strangers dead.

18-year-old Megan takes the blame for the crime, leaving her friends to get on with their lives. In return, they each agree to a 'favour', payable on her release from prison.

Twenty years later Megan is free.

It is payback time.

And her friends start disappearing, one by one . . .

Richard & Judy bestseller Sharon Bolton is back, with her twistiest thriller yet.

I have rarely been so gripped by a story as by this one. The storyline immediately appealed to my sense of justice and the twists and turns just kept on coming. I normally predict the outcome in books such as this but this one kept me guessing, most enjoyably. Brilliantly-written and well-narrated I highly recommend this.

Fantastic, gripping story!

Stick with this book. I was undecided about Part One but it paves the way for a very rewarding Part Two.

The plot is carefully crafted and the narration style suits the setting of the Oxford privileged class.

I was surprised by the tension created by the final chapters It took unsuspected twists.This author uses multiple writing styles.

A book of two halves
