'Beautiful scenery, well-plotted secrets and a pace that is conducive to losing your entire day' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Clever and twisty' Jackie Kabler
They all share a secret. But only one knows the truth. Who will be the first to break?
Tess enters the prestigious and exclusive Ravensthorpe Writing College with dreams of literary greatness, but soon discovers that ambition comes at a cost.
Drawn into a tight-knit group with fellow writers Ethan, Theo, and Jaz, Tess's world is upended when their charismatic tutor is found dead. Believing someone in their circle is responsible, Tess flees the elite literary world and abandons the future she once craved.
Three years later, an enigmatic invitation to walk the Camino de Santiago offers Tess a chance to uncover the truth. Reunited with her former friends, including Ethan, now a literary star, Tess realises the past isn't finished with her. Someone knows what really happened that night, and they'll do anything to keep it buried.
