Old friends. Old grudges. One evening back together again. The last time they all had dinner, someone wound up dead. What could go wrong? Sophie Lind hasn't seen her college friends in a decade when a dinner invitation from one of the friends, Ava, arrives on her doorstep. They used to all be inseparable, meeting for dinner every week, even after graduation. But the last time they all had dinner, ten years ago, someone was dead by the end of the night. It was Sophie's then-fiancé William who died that night in his apartment, just a room away from the friends he called family. Sophie isn't sure if it's curiosity—or guilt—that pushes her to accept Ava's dinner invitation and unbury those old wounds. When the six friends arrive for the dinner, there's a small box waiting for each of them by their plates. Each box uncovers secrets that the friends have kept hidden all these years, and with the door to the apartment locked from the outside, it's clear that Ava didn't plan this dinner just to reminisce about the past. What happened to William is buried beneath someone's lies—and nobody's leaving this dinner table until the truth comes out.Mostra libro
