Harriet Reed is newly engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir to an extremely powerful American family.
When Edward’s father hands her a tape of a book he’s been working on, she is desperate to listen.
But as she presses play, it’s clear that this isn’t a novel. It’s a confession to murder.
Feeling isolated and confused, Harriet must work out if this is all part of a plan to test her loyalty. Or something far darker.
Because this might be a game to the Holbeck family - but games can still be deadly.

READY OR NOT, HERE THEY COME . . .

Critic reviews

"Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric—I couldn’t put it down." (Lucy Foley)

"Engrossing and unputdownable." (Caroline Kepnes)

"Captivating doesn't cover it. Brilliant doesn't do it justice. This is a dazzling, gasp-inducing plunge-pool of a novel that grips your heart and mind and refuses to let go. Absolutely stunning." (BP Walter)

Money matters but not that matters

Good story but a little bit boring at the first stage.
Old plot, past haunted.
