APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A locked-room mystery set squarely in the harshness of nature? That’s right. In this wild thriller, things turn nasty between old uni friends and their kids on a glamping trip in Cornwall. That set-up may seem straightforward enough, but the results will keep you guessing to the end. One of the party has been killed, but who? And by whom? Jumping between character perspectives—with parts of the story told in flashback and the children’s points of view represented too—author Hannah Richell weaves a web of tangled relationships that feels all too real. The focus on festering grievances, unearthed secrets and fallible adults should especially appeal to fans of Lucy Foley’s The Hunting Party, while narrators Beth Eyre and Jamie Parker nimbly handle the multitude of characters.
