A year ago, after a perfect date, Miles Deverill was charged with murder. The handsome young actor became front-page news when he was accused of killing Caira Kennedy, a social worker he had just met that night.
Now acquitted, Miles can’t escape the past. He tries to rebuild his life, but journalists won’t leave him alone. And then the threatening messages start—in Caira's own voice: This is not over. Is she still alive or is someone playing a twisted game?
Desperate to escape, Miles joins friends on a remote road trip. But deep in an isolated forest, one of their group is murdered. Someone close to Miles knows exactly what happened on his date—and this time he has to face the truth. Guilty or innocent, there is nowhere left to run…

This book was like a balloon with a slow leak, full of promise but ultimately deflated. I was all set for a literary rollercoaster, but alas, it barely crawled up the first hill. George, the resident bully, got away with his antics under the excuse of 'that's just George,' while poor Elis had every right to be fed up. Miles? A total wet blanket, not winning any Friend of the Year awards. And Ruebyn, oh boy, was a card from the deck of oddballs. Their clique was like a mismatched puzzle. Loose ends dangled everywhere, like untied shoelaces, leaving me stumbling over the predictable ending. Dual timelines were clear enough, but the story still felt like a bumpy ride. The mysterious stalker was more of a gentle nudge than a thrill, and the themes of jealousy and betrayal felt like they were scribbled in the margins. In the quest for suspense and drama, this book aimed high but missed the bullseye, leaving me yearning for more depth and engagement. I wouldn’t put this one on your must-read list.
