The once inseparable Manon, Thomas and Maxime - Vinca's best friends - have not spoken since graduation. Twenty-five years earlier, under terrible circumstances, the three of them committed a murder and buried the body in the gymnasium wall, the same wall that is about to be demolished to make way for an ultramodern new building.

Now, the three friends are about to meet again at their reunion. Will decades of lies unravel to reveal what really happened on that deadly winter night?

Taut, suspenseful, and addictive, The Reunion will grip you until its haunting final tick.

Critic reviews

"The French call it a coup de foudre: a strike of lightning. That's how The Reunion zapped me, electrified me. For almost a decade, Guillaume Musso has reigned supreme as France's most popular author, and with this, his American debut, he's instantly poised to join the ranks of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo. The Reunion zigzags so nimbly - between past and present, from intrigue to terror, amid possible suspects and potential victims - that you're at very real risk of whiplash. Witty, elegant, and peopled with complex characters, it's one of the most sheerly suspenseful novels I've read in years - and among the most enjoyable, too."(A.J. Finn, best-selling author of The Woman in the Window)

"This immensely satisfying thriller about a prep school scandal and three friends' buried secrets had me turning the pages well into the night. The Reunion has everything a masterful thriller should: gut-wrenching suspense, a twisting story with blindsiding surprises, and a narrator with a mysterious past. It's no wonder that Guillaume Musso is one of France's most loved, bestselling authors." (Harlan Coben)

Oh What Tangled Webs We Weave...

An interesting drama,full of flash backs and recollections. A well done translation from French. However the French names left me struggling to understand who and where the scene was set. Three years of high school French 50 years ago failed me here!

Make sure to listen to the very end

Enjoyed the mystery and the French accent of the narrator given that it takes place in Nice. Make sure to listen to the very end.

Exquisite

Truly one of the most beautiful, suspenseful, and unique books I’ve ever read.
The performances are also 5 star from start to finish.
Do not hesitate.
This is a book everyone should read at least once.

Compelling Story

The story was fun to hear, with the French settings, characters and accents. It could have happened anywhere, but the mystique was a plus. The inter-twined twists and turns were unceasing. Well done!

An absolutely intriguing story .

I loved the multiple twists and turns that seemed to spring from no where. I like the narrator as well. They gave a little authenticity to the story.

Great Mystery

I enjoyed how this story was different from others under this theme. The plot was well conveyed and character development was excellent. There were quite a few players but it was easy to keep track as a result. Although I think there was supposed to be a building up of angst, I never really got that but looked forward to more clues and info. Nice twists one after the other near and to the end!

Narration by all was outstanding!!

Pleasantly surprised

I just randomly found and have to say didn’t have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised and truly enjoyed. Thought it was an intriguing story and for a brand new mom who finds it hard to take time to listen to books I was so enthralled and couldn’t wait to get in the car so I could listen. The ending was great had no idea which is very rare for books these days. No tired tropes! Would definitely recommend!

wonderful Tead

really enjoyed this book. so many twists & turns, very well done! look forward to the movie (hoping!).

Excellent!

I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end. I get distracted easily, so I often find my mind wandering while listening to books, but this one kept my attention all the way through. I loved the characters, the setting, the twists and turns that I never saw coming. I rarely give 5 stars, but I felt that this one deserved it!

Don't waste your credir

I found this particularly difficult to get into, particularly the narration was slow and difficult to follow
