Synopsis

Most Anticipated by Goodreads

“Riveting and compulsively listenable.” –Woman’s World
Scream meets The Guest List in this wickedly compelling and compulsively listenable thriller of friendship and murder from the author of The Lost Village, Camilla Sten.

On a remote island nestled off the coast of Sweden, four friends—Tilly, Anna, Linnea and Evelina—meet every year. Best friends since childhood, the idea is to drink beer, dance by the water, and shake off the weight of life's expectations. The location of the island is a secret to everyone but them. One night of reckless fun and secret-sharing, and then they return to their normal lives.

Ten Years Later. Ever since she was a teenager, Tessa Nilsson has been consumed by the story of four friends who disappeared. As her true crime fervor turned into a wildly popular podcast, Tessa covered Sweden’s most gruesome cases, but could never find the answers behind what happened to these women who disappeared. Now Tessa’s podcast has crashed and burned, any chance she had at uncovering the truth vanishing with it.

Anneliese is Tessa’s best friend, and before she walks down the aisle, she wants to have a bachelorette party. The destination: Baltic Vinyasa, a sleek, sophisticated yoga retreat on a small island off the coast—one with such similar characteristics to the tragedy years ago that it raises the hair on Tessa’s neck. The idea is to drink gallons of cava, do sunrise yoga, and get in their last chance to bond with the bride. Tessa will not pass this up. It’s her last chance to find out what happened to the four women, once and for all.

And it’s someone else’s last chance to get revenge.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on April 23, 2025

Well, I’ll start my unpopular review by saying that even though I’m a die-hard fan of locked-room murder mysteries, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the author’s previous works. There was no issue with the execution of the mystery—the pacing was good, and the intertwining of the past mystery of t......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on April 06, 2025

This is one wild and dangerous bachelorette party! Wow 😮 Dark, intense and creepy but so fun to read. I read this in a day, so addictive. I do love a dual timeline, locked room mystery. 2012, 4 women go missing never to be seen again. They are presumed drowned. 10 years later, true crime podcaster, T......more

Goodreads review by Angie on February 14, 2025

This book has some real "horror movie" energy. Remember the geico commercial awhile back where there were kids running away from a murderer and they hid behind a wall of chainsaws instead of driving away? This book is like that. It reminds me of the Scream/I know what you did last summer time frame......more

Goodreads review by Delaney on April 27, 2025

An easy and fast read for fans of locked door mysteries! Let’s be honest- locked door can get repetitive. But the vibes are usually still there, and it’s a much loved setting! I find the key with locked door is to not speculate too much as I read and just enjoy the ride. I read quickly, so I sped ri......more
