Fans of Nicci French’s Frieda Klein series may be less delighted by the authors’ new audio thriller, a one-off about a music teacher named Bonnie who puts together a summer pickup band to play for a friend’s wedding. The group is joined by an appealing but obviously disruptive rocker of some reputation who begins seducing people he shouldn’t, appropriating funds not his, and (surprise!) is soon found dead in his borrowed apartment. What happened before and following the death is told in alternating shifts in time-frame jumps, the current crime novel on-trend device for manipulating the clue supply. Imogen Church does her enthusiastic and largely successful best to make this entertaining, but her weird pronunciations of featured characters’ names (Amos and Joachim) distract needlessly. Was nobody producing? B.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
From the internationally bestselling author of The Lying Room, a sexy, intricate thriller about the temptation of secrets, the weight of lies, and the price of betrayal and suspicion.
Who is more dangerous? An enemy, a friend, or a lover?
When Bonnie Graham arrives at her boyfriend's apartment in London, she is horrified to discover a dead body in a pool of blood on the floor. But she doesn't call the police. Bonnie hides the corpse and then carefully wipes away any evidence she was ever there.
Bonnie is a music teacher who spent a long, hot summer in London rehearsing with a band to play at a friend's wedding. It was supposed to be fun, but the band members find the complicated knots of their friendships-some old, some new-unraveling as the days themselves unwind. What was meant to be a summer of happiness, love, and music turns deadly as lovers betray one another, passions turn murderous, and friendship itself becomes a crime.
Everyone tells lies. But is anyone prepared to tell the truth to uncover a murderer?
