Everyone envies the Randalls: beautiful, accomplished and high-flying, their lives are almost too good to be true.
No one envies Stuart. A tough childhood has left him making his way as best he can, vowing to lose a bit more weight and become a bit more successful.
But a chance encounter sets in motion a series of events which will shatter everything. Some will think they’ve lost, others will think they’ve won, but none of them will be prepared for the final catastrophe of jealousy, betrayal and agonizing justice.
They should never have invited Stuart in – and he should never have trusted them.
A brilliantly assured psychological thriller that builds tension with such power and conviction, you will feel as if you are there with them, fighting for a say.
