Synopsis

Seven women. Seven sins. One night of judgment.

Jennifer is forty-two and getting married for the second time, but that doesn't mean she can't go all out for her bachelorette weekend. She's taking her closest friends to the kind of place that has a years-long waiting list for a booking: three days of super-exclusive luxury accommodation on a remote Scottish island. So excited by the complicated means of transport required to get to the island, no one gives much thought to the implications for getting off again, especially if the weather should turn. But why would they? They're in for a time they will never forget. Just not for the reasons they imagine.

When one of the party mysteriously goes missing on the first night, Jennifer realizes she has made a terrible mistake: she has assembled this disparate bunch of women and the only thing they have in common is her . . .

Get ready for a locked room mystery like no other. One that asks: how well do you really know anybody, even your oldest acquaintance? And what if your best friend is really your worst enemy?

My thanks to Penzler publishing, Chris Brookmyre and Netgalley. So...I have mixed feelings about this book. I suppose that the story was good, but it was not at all what I was expecting from the blurb. I wanted a gosh-damned mystery/thriller. What I got was some domestic drama. Actually, that would be......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on May 03, 2024

Six women travel to a remote Scottish island for a hen party. They are to be alone on the island for the weekend with the exception of the female host and a hunky chef, there to cater for their culinary needs (and maybe a little more). It’s a luxurious setup, and the reviews from previous guests sug......more

Goodreads review by Pat on July 16, 2022

If it didn’t have Chris Brookmyre’s name on the cover I would never have guessed he had written it. It didn’t sound like his “voice” and was lacking his trademark snarky humour! Jen has organised a hen’s weekend at a luxury resort on a remote Scottish Island, Clachan Geal, and invited six friends inc......more
