ABOUT THIS BOOK Seven friends. One killer. No escape… A group of childhood friends are reunited at a luxury inn on a remote west coast peninsula in Ireland. But as a storm builds outside, the dark events that marred their childhoods threaten to resurface. And when a body is discovered, the group faces a shocking realisation: a killer is among them, and not everyone will escape with their lives MY REVIEW A dark, twisting tale of obsession and hatred, I CONFESS by Alex Barclay is addictive, harrowing, and everything else in between all tied together in one masterful package. When Edie and Johnny buy the old convent that holds so many memories for everyone and transform it into a luxury inn for holidaymakers, not everyone can understand why. But a private party held for their closest and oldest friends will give them all a chance to catch-up and reconnect, as well as understand a little better. But a storm is brewing and when a body is found, everyone begins to question whether they truly know each other at all. And then there is Jess, their friend who died all those years ago who suffered a cruel and horrific fate - what could the present possibly have to do with the past? Who is terrorising them and why? They will soon find out. Told from different characters point-of-view and moving from past to present, I CONFESS by Alex Barclay drew me instantly into this gang of mates and instantly made me connect with them. The present-day plot is filled with friendship and laughter but there is an uneasiness brimming under the surface, and the past plot broke my heart into a million pieces and made me so angry for the innocent childhood that was shattered. I CONFESS has a dark core that will haunt you even after you turn the last page but has so many elements which make it so much more than your usual psychological thriller. It's hard to put this into words so I recommend you buy it for yourself so you can see what I mean. I CONFESS by Alex Barclay is a 5 star read by a 5 star writer and I look forward to more from this fantastic author.
