How much do you trust your friends? A group of 8 chums gets together for a dinner party, but instead of a pleasant evening of drinks and dinner they engage in a game that exposes their worst secrets, fears and lies. The next day two are dead and the remaining six are left to wonder who to trust. An engaging riff on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None

How well do you know your friends ? What secrets might you all be hiding ? I really enjoyed this book and found it easy to identify with the characters. There were enough twists and turns to have me intrigued as to what had happened on the night and who was hiding what.
I found the end a little unbelievable and would have liked a little less drama there. All in all a good read and I would recommend it.

Protagonist Ted, well-meaning and principled but too easily swayed by others, at one point asks himself, "How was he meant to be thinking about his friend?" For me, that approach describes the crux of this psychological mystery. Eight individuals--four couples. They consider themselves "a dinner group," not really socializing beyond that--or so Ted thinks. I think there's too much thinking going on among this group. Self-analysis is well and good, until it becomes "what does my spouse/friend/therapist think? Maybe I should change my mind?"
