THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
âImmensely grippingâŠStayed up till past 2am to finish thisâ Sophie Hannah
Four people walked into the dining room that night. One would never leave.
Matthew: the perfect husband.
Titus: the perfect son.
Charlie: the perfect illusion.
Rachel: the perfect stranger.
Charlie didnât want her at the book club. Matthew wouldnât listen.
And thatâs how Charlie finds himself slumped beside his husbandâs body, their son sitting silently at the dinner table, while Rachel calls 999, the bloody knife still gripped in her hand.
Classic crime meets Donna Tartt in this nerve-shredding domestic noir thriller that weaves a sprawling web of secrets around an opulent West London world and the dinner that ends in death.

So, this was a good mystery, but it was absolutely not what i was expecting from the description. I also found it borderline boring in places, since the buildup is very long. I think the story could have been shortened a fair bit. I was also thrown off by Charlieâs parents assuming it was Titus, since that has not been set up at all and I was absolutely not convinced that it was him, which kind of diminished the mystery a little for me, considering there was only one other suspect. Still, I was interested in how this would end. Solid three star read.
