Ten years ago, a group of 6 college friends spent a week in France. The neighbor was Severine, who all the guys liked and the girls tolerated. The day they left to go back to school, Severine was never seen again. Severine's bones have been found. Forensics show that she may have been murdered. Sine the friends were the last to see her, they are all suspects. The story is told with Kate Channing's voice. She had a fight with her boyfriend and he promptly slept with the French girl. They have not spoken since. Caro had a thing for Kate's boyfriend ... did she kill who she thought the competition was? Illegal drugs were sneaked in and there was lots of alcohol involved with everything they did. After that week, none of them have been the same. They all have secrets... some shared, some not. When the police investigation reopens, fingers start pointing. This was a very well written story. Through Kate's voice, the reader can follow what she remembers .. and what she conceals. Relationships among the friends have been uncomfortable .. and some have been severed. The characters are sharply defined ... and memorable. The ending came as quite a surprise. Many thanks to the author / Berkley Publishing / Edelweiss for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
