Publisher Description
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?

"At first I really disliked the format of this book ("Before," "After") and almost didn't continue reading it. But after I got into it, I could hardly wait to see what happened next! A good read. "

Quotes
-
“A pitch-perfect thriller…French takes the time to tease out individual characters to a degree seldom seen in crime fiction, saving the final plot twist for the last page.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“A skillfully woven tapestry…In the end, the carefully constructed plot is the real hero.”
— The Independent (London)

" not loving this-- want to quit, but i have to find out what happens "
— Kelli, 1/7/2014 -
" A very odd read. Slow to get going, eventually grabs you so you can finish. Written very odd in a Before/After scheme with no real chapters. "
— Leland, 11/28/2013 -
" I thought it was poorly written and based on a somewhat ridiculous premise. The 'before' and 'after' construction didn't bother me, but things such as describing what Bonnie can see outside when she's lying in bed with a duvet over her head are just plain careless. "

" Quite a riveting read, though I found the motivations of the main characters mostly unbelievable. "
— Lynn, 8/25/2012 -
" I thought it was an excellent read. Extremely good characterizations made it easy to get to know these people and the dilemmas they must grapple with. Will recommend to my friends without hesitation "
— Suzanne, 6/1/2012 -
" The whodunit part of this mystery really worked for me -- and I really wanted to know -- but the format didn't thrill me. The idea of dividing chapters into "before" and "after" works, but the switching was so quick that it felt jarring. Regardless: glad I read it. "

" Have heard other books by this author are good, this one was just OK. "

" Not one of their better ones. Disappointed with the end. "
— Crystal, 12/4/2011 -
" The last paragraph of the last "after" segment was the best in the book!! All the reader conjecture about who did what & who would get away with it all...I imagine it all spiralled back at the group after the rug comment in the presence of the detective. "
— Sarah, 11/22/2011 -
" Hmmm, pretty underwhelming storyline. I didn't love a single character. But, I did finish the book, so that says something. "
— Madrona310, 11/21/2011 -
" My first stab at Nicci French. I'll keep trying. <br/>The characters were generally flat and unlikeable, and the whodunit aspect was obvious from about page 20. There were some interesting twists at the end, but I didn't really enjoy the slog through the bulk of the book. "

" The description of this book is such a spoiler, I can barely believe it. If you haven't read above yet, DON'T...don't even glance. <br/> <br/>Anyway, I enjoy Nicci French noels generally, but this one was weak in comparison. The tension wasn't there for me, making it a bit of a slog to read. "
