Synopsis (publisher)

Three families united by a terrible event must survive a deadly wedding in this latest gripping thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Rebecca Heath, author of The Summer Party and The Dinner Party!

A group of old friends. A grieving mother. A lying bride.

Adele and Jason are childhood sweethearts. Their wedding day on the sunny Australian coast is a chance to reunite and celebrate with friends and family.

But Adele isn't telling the truth about her relationship. And some of the wedding party – still reeling from a tragic death in the group a decade before – hold secrets of their own.

What happened on the jetty all those years ago was an accident, everyone agrees.

Or do they?

My Take

Twelve years ago Ollie died as a result of a diving accident from the old jetty at this South Australian beach. His mother Melanie has never accepted it as an accident, but now on the second-worst day of her life she will watch his girlfriend Adele marry Jason, supposedly his best mate. And no-one is listening to Melanie!

It will be big wedding, many leadup events, and then Jason launches a surprise. 

This story has an interesting construction: several authors and several time frames. It's difficult, but successful. 

My rating: 4.6
