By B P Walter
Tension spills over at an engagement party for Raphael and his fiancée. Someone uses the opportunity to reveal family secrets and lies, setting in motion a deadly plan.
This is the first book I've read by B P Walter and I really enjoyed it. Characterisation was good, as was the plot. Although most of the main characters were privileged and obnoxious, I still found myself being drawn into their lives and captivated.

The story unfolds through a shifting timeline of past and present, which I thought worked very well. However, it lacked plot twists — the reader kind of knew where the story was heading. I wanted a jaw-dropping "what the heck!" shock but it didn't come. That being said, it was good and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
