The Reunion Party

Available in paperback, ebook and audio book.
Published 25th June 2024.

 
 

The outsider.
The geek.
The football star.
The quiet one.
The good Samaritan.


They're five unlikely people who wouldn't have met if not for Tania Armstrong-Jones. Widely popular and the resident It girl, she stormed into each of their lives with her beguiling grace and an inseparable friendship was formed. Until tragedy strikes, and Tania is taken away from them too soon, tearing the group apart.
   
Now twenty-five years later, they're reuniting at a remote country hotel on the anniversary of her death.

But when the drinks start flowing and with the party in full swing, the merry mood of the night suddenly turns once secret revelations come to light about their university days. But just how well did they know Tania? And could there be more to Tania's accident than they're letting on?

Trapped in the hotel with no way out and with no one they can trust, who will make it through the reunion in one piece?
