ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- On the tenth anniversary of a walk that ended in the death of one of six teenagers, the survivors are invited by the mother of the dead boy to commemorate the occasion at the homestead west of the Blue Mountains he grew up on. They are now adults carrying a degree of damage, even if they deny it, but all feel they owe Ed's mother this one seemingly small thing. Having mostly lost touch, this weekend will be a chance to catch up briefly; but once they reach the homestead they realise Mrs Fletcher is not coping well at all. In the isolated valley with no phone reception, and no nearby neighbours, strange and sinister things start to happen.
Told alternately in current time and stepping back ten years, this is a novel full of suspense and mounting ill-ease, as we start to realise each character hasn't been truthful about what happened all those years ago. A gripping read! Lindy
The Dry meets The Hunting Party in this gripping thriller set in the isolated Australian bush, where five friends will wish they never returned . . .
Ten years ago, six teenagers hiked into the Blue Mountains wilderness - and only five came out alive.
The survivors have barely seen each other since the tragic bushwalk. Yet when an invitation arrives to attend a 10-year memorial of their friend's death, Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack find themselves travelling back into the rugged landscape where it all began.
The weekend at an isolated homestead in the bush – no phone signal, no distractions – should be a chance to reflect and reconnect.
But each of the friends has been carrying secrets from the fateful hike. And someone will stop at nothing to get the truth.

Bronwyn Rivers grew up in Newcastle, New South Wales with the mystery-novel gateway drugs of The Famous Five and Trixie Belden, before developing a solid addiction to Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and PD James. She moved to the UK to take a doctorate on nineteenth-century women's novels at Oxford, and was an academic researcher and book reviewer in England and Australia, before admitting that she actually wanted to write the fiction rather than analyse it. When not reading or writing novels, she tries to spend as much time as possible walking or swimming in the Australian natural landscapes that form the settings for her work. This usually requires an excursion from her home in inner Sydney, where she now lives with her husband and two children.
