Finn and his girlfriend Layla are in France before she mysteriously vanishes, leaving him to answer police questions over her disappearance. Fast forward 12 years, and Finn has settled down, about to marry Layla's older, much more mature sister, but suddenly bizarre events begin to occur, and they wonder - has she returned?
The entire book is unnerving, moving between several narratives and voices, first establishing Finn's version of the past and the present. And then soon after, another voice emerges, and you're left to question whether it really is Layla.
While you do get an inkling with 30 minutes left of the book about what could be possible - it is written so that the final reveal is still harrowing and shocking. Another gripping thriller from Paris.

Ten years later, the case reopens when Severine’s body is found down the Farmhouse’s well which had been filled in. Everyone is under suspicion. And it feels that way as you read it. Even the the character that we see the story through, Kate, seems likely to have murdered her.
This isn’t one of your pacy thrillers, there’s lots of description and back story concerning Kate’s new business, but it’s actually quite interesting. The relationships between the five surviving ‘friends’ shows an interesting dynamic.
Not a neat little ending either - which I really like. I enjoyed this.
Thanks to the Pigeonhole and Lexie Elliott for reading along!
