The Reunion | Bronwyn Rivers
1 post | 1 read
THEY'LL WISH THEY NEVER WENT BACK. Ten years ago, six teenagers hiked into the Blue Mountains wilderness - and only five came out alive. The survivors have barely seen each other since the tragic bushwalk. Yet when an invitation arrives to attend a 10-year memorial of their friend's death, Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack find themselves travelling back into the rugged landscape where it all began. The weekend at an isolated homestead in the bush - no phone signal, no distractions - should be a chance to reflect and reconnect. But each of the friends has been carrying secrets from the fateful hike. And someone will stop at nothing to get the truth.

Ten years ago, 6 teenagers went hiking & camping in the Australian bush - but only 5 returned alive. Now Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura, & Jack return to the farm of Ed's parents, the starting point of that fateful trip to attend a memorial for Ed. When they get there, Ed's mother Mary, is obviously still struggling with his death & the more recent death of her husband. None of them want to be there & just want to get through the weekend.

OutsmartYourShelf When Mary disappears the friends realise that they are short of water & food, they can't leave due to their cars being sabotaged, & they can't call for help as the farm is isolated & their phones don't work there. Someone wants to know the truth of what happened that day 10 years ago & they might just kill to get it.

I thought this was a gripping read. I love the 'isolated location' trope & this is a good one as not only is the land inhospitable

OutsmartYourShelf but also the weather. The friend group is made up of characters all with something to hide about that day but did one of them commit murder? The reader slowly learns what happened through flashback chapters. It's a medium-paced entertaining read & I flew through it. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Little Brown Book Group UK/Constable, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
