When the rich party nothing is too much even a bunch of murders thrown in for good measure. Aimees sister rose is missing and she'll go to any lengths to find her and bring her home.
I was lucky enough to receive this before it’s released date, and as soon as I seen the cover and the name of this book I knew I had to read it. A boy did it not disappoint, I literally thought I had the plot then it took a twist and what a twist it was. This kept me guessing the whole time I was reading and it had me hooked!!
Thank you Amy
The book follows Amelia, a barrister, who has been in contact with police after her sister goes missing. A year later, and with no answers, she decides to retrace her sister’s last movements at a luxury three day event in Norway.
This was a fun, dark and thrilling read with intriguing characters that really come to life. I really liked the female main character and her determination to find out what happened to her sister.
I found the book to be intense and it had me completely hooked. I thought the ending was really well done, I did not see any of it coming! It’s an easy read too and the luxury setting was truly unique.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Pacy, Tense..
When barrister, Amelia, realises that her sister has disappeared- and is not simply ignoring her following a falling out- she embarks on a mission to find her. Spending time carefully curating her plans and with a party hosted by a billionaire in Norway bound to go awry, the situation begins to get very dangerous indeed. Pacy, intense and immersive with a fast moving plot populated with a well drawn, oft unlikeable cast, this is a compelling novel of revenge and retribution.
Amelia's sister has disappeared and Amelia is on the hunt to find out facts and solve the mystery
I loved this book. It has a touch of glamour and a lot of dark twisty drama.
It is a brilliant told tale and I loved the pace. It really drew mw in and I found I could not put this book down until it ended..
This is the kind of book that would make a fab TV drama and I do hope we see it soon
A book for those who enjoy darkness but also enjoy pacing so good it can feel like fun!
Amelia is a barrister when we meet her. Her sister is missing and the police won’t do anything as they are sure she is fine. What else could she do than leave her live and retrace her sister’s steps. Amelia searches for the truth against a backdrop of luxury and bacchanalia.
While none of this should have been believable, it felt perfectly reasonable because the author creates a rich landscape, plotted to perfection with twists and turns and an ever changing array of parties who could be guilty. This is truly unputdownable and such a joy to read.
Characters that come off the page are aplenty in this book and make for a story that you will read again.
I loved it.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher who sent me this eARC in return for an honest review which this is.
Phew, this was an incredibly intense read. We follow Amelia on a desperate search for her sister, Rose. To do so, she must become a different person and enter events she would never have imagined going to. Quite quickly a connection with Amelia is established and as the reader, I cared about what happened to her and her sister. We then enter the danger area as Cunningham transports us to Norway and a location her sister was last known to be at. From here, the plot is intense, gripping and full of twists. It is quite a slow build up but 0nce the action starts, it really does not let up.
The location for this book is gorgeous and provides a balance between the danger of the plot and the serenity of Norway. Cunningham's characters are good, they are not all likeable, some of them are very unlikeable, but this is absolutely the point and they carry their role in the plot very well.
Overall this was a gripping, dangerous read and I loved it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK for an advance copy.
This is one of those books where the concept is so out there that you just have to suspend your sense of reality for the whole thing. And it still doesn’t make much sense even then…
A year ago, Amelia’s flighty younger sister Rose disappeared after attending a lavish party thrown by an old Cambridge buddy, at his family pile in Norway. The police want nothing to do with her so Amelia… takes leave from her job as a lawyer, assumes a new identity as a post-partum fitness coach and gets together with the cousin of the party host. All for the purpose of attending this year’s bash and trying to get information about Rose…
Once she arrives in Norway for the party things briefly pick up, but the ending is convoluted, overblown and yet still predictable.
Not a great read unfortunately
Oft, now this kept me guessing! I liked the premise and went in with high hopes but this really surprised me. This felt like a fresh take on the lremise of "finding out where missing g family member went and whether they were murdered". Ots well written so was easy to get into the swing of it and become invested. It did feel like a bit of a slow burn to start with though. I had hoped I'd be completely immersed into the story but u spent the start kf the book waiting on something g happening. Once things started to pick up though, it got very good, very quickly. Lots of twists and turns, secrets, lies, revenge and more!! It's definitely worth sticking with it to get ti the good part
This was definitely interesting and quite unique
I really enjoyed it first the title just grabs you and the story keeps you
Full of twists and turns secrets and lies
So much drama I couldn’t put it down
It did leave me guessing and surprise me with the ending
There were secrets and murders/disappearances all over the place. I felt it started abit slow but picked up midway through the book. I was intrigued by the whole Fowley family. I felt James wasn’t what he seemed and I just couldn’t make my mind up on Lawrence. Amelia was putting so much at risk to find out what happened to her sister. Some of her “spy kit” I felt was abit unbelievable if she came from the background she did but maybe I missed something with that.
The book was a good read. I guessed who the killer was but not the reasons why. It picked up the pace as it progressed and there was a twist I didn’t guess.
If you like an easy thriller read then this is one you can read quickly and isn’t too complicated.

Welcome to the party of the year! You’ve been invited to an exclusive, luxury event in Norway, hosted by a billionaire. Your moment has finally arrived. But you’re not going for the canapes and champagne. You’re going for revenge. Where anything is possible. You’ve spent months preparing for this moment. Because you know that beneath the host’s polished public persona, he’s a vicious killer who has murdered several innocent people, including your sister! Great read! This book had nail biting suspense, intriguing, action, murder, mystery, kidnapping, revenge, juicy family secrets, a fantastic who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
