Summary

A wealthy family's vacation at their lush winery estate becomes a weekend to kill for in this deliciously twisted novel of suspense

“Absolutely captivating! A riveting and immersive puzzle for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware.”—Hank Phillippi Ryan

Every year, the illustrious Van Ness siblings, heirs to a copper fortune, gather at their secluded winery estate for a joint birthday celebration. It's a tradition they've followed nearly all their lives, and now they are back with their significant others for a much-needed weekend of rest and relaxation, away from the public spotlight.

With lavish comforts, gorgeous scenery, and indulgent drinking, the trip should be the perfect escape. But it soon becomes clear that even a remote idyllic getaway can’t keep out the problems simmering in each of their lives. As old tensions are reignited, the three couples are pushed to the edge. Will their secrets destroy them, or will they destroy each other first? And who’s been watching them from beyond the vineyard gates?

When a torrential rainstorm hits, plunging them into darkness, the answers prove all too deadly…

“Clever… [A] satisfying mash-up of Succession and Agatha Christie.”—Publishers Weekly

LOVED this beautifully written thriller

A mystery uninvited party guest watches unobserved from the fringes. An anonymous gift arrives, but everybody knows the Van Nesses do not bring birthday gifts. Everyone in this stylish and beautifully written thriller has a secret. The characters are so finely observed and believable I was completely hooked. For anyone like me who loves a thriller but needs it to be well-written, this has smart, clean, clever prose and engaging and complex characters. Highly recommended gem.
