The Party in the Woods

From the critically acclaimed author of When We Were Silent comes a gripping new novel where murder and betrayal are hidden behind strobing lights and pulse-pounding music, perfect for fans of Tana French, Erin Kelly and Lisa Jewell.

When Sean Salinger vanished without trace after a rave in the woods just outside Dublin in 2001, his five closest friends swore never to speak of that night again.

Twenty-two years later, Annie Fagan is the only one still asking questions. And when new evidence surfaces recasting Sean’s disappearance as murder, she’s pulled back into the circle she thought she’d escaped.

But digging up the past means exposing who her friends really are – and what they did to keep it buried.

Because someone at that party knows what happened to Sean.
Someone who has killed before.
Someone who’ll kill again…
