The Invitation

An Absolutely Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Killer Twist

By: Rachel Abbott

Narrated by: Olivia Vinall

That’s the thing about old friends...they never let you forget.

The first time Jemma and Matt were invited to Polskirrin - the imposing ocean-view home belonging to Matt’s childhood friend Lucas Jarrett - it was for an intimate wedding that ended in tragedy. Jemma will never forget the sight of the girl’s pale body floating listlessly towards the rocky shore.

Now, exactly one year later, Jemma and her husband have reluctantly returned at Lucas’s request to honor the anniversary of an event they would do anything to forget.

But what Lucas has in store for his guests is nothing like a candlelight vigil. Someone who was there that night remembers more than they’ll admit to, and Lucas has devised a little game to make them tell the truth.

Jemma believes she and Matt know nothing about what happened to that woman...but what if she’s wrong? Before you play a deadly game, make sure you can pay the price....

From the four-million-copy best-selling author of Sleep Tight comes a psychological thriller that will have you gripped until the last word. Perfect for fans of Something in the Water, The Woman in the Window, and The Silent Patient.
