About this listen

EVERYONE IS INVITED. EVERYONE MUST PLAY THE GAME.

A year ago today, we all gathered for Lucas's wedding at his glorious Cornish home overlooking the sea.

But no one was married that day.

Now Lucas has invited us back to celebrate the anniversary. But the anniversary of what? The wedding that never happened, or the tragedy that occurred just hours before the ceremony was due to begin?

He's told us that tonight he has planned a game. We have our costumes, we have our parts, and everyone must play. The game, he tells us, is about to begin.

What does Lucas want from us? What are we not being told? And what's going to happen when this terrible game is over?

Absolutely brilliant

The best audible book I have listened to for a while now. The story is great, gripping from the start to finish with a good narrator. I love the way Rachel Abbott writes and will keep coming back for more.

Another great great story

I just love Rachel and can’t wait for her next book. This one is as gripping as her others and during lockdown is an amazing distraction. Great characters, great plots- just fabulous. Thanks Rachel!

Like a modern Agatha Christie

This is such a clever, expertly plotted murder mystery revolving around a group of friends and their partners/spouses, who gather together for a wedding, and then a year later an anniversary. It has the feel of a modern Agatha Christie.

The setting (a house on the cliffs) is wonderful and all the characters are beautifully drawn. This is such a suspenseful page turner, with a fabulous twist at the end. Ms Abbott never fails to deliver and I am now waiting for Book 3 in the series.

Great narration from Olivia Vinall made this a perfect listen.

Kept me guessing

I loved this book, it’s very addictive and kept me captivated all way through, the narrator really brings each one alive, just when you think you’ve worked it out another twist!
I binge listened! Highly recommended

Takes a while to find its feet

However, it’s worth pursuing and develops into a fairly interesting plot. Very competent delivery. Enjoy

Far fetched but exciting

Rachel Abbott is a master storyteller so I can figure the implausible story. Kept me guessing!
