THE FIFTH GUEST Paperback

In Jenny Knight's "The Fifth Guest," five estranged university friends gather at a secluded riverside house for a memorial on the eve of their flatmate's passing. Host Caro, successful author Lily, suburban dad George, meditative Travis, and troublemaker Elle find themselves ready to reminisce, but beneath the veneer of old friendships lies a tangled web of dark secrets from their Oxford days. As long-held lies unravel over martinis and delicious food, the true reason for their gathering comes to light: each guest is hiding something, and the question quickly becomes, is one of them guilty of murder? This gripping psychological suspense thriller promises to keep readers turning pages late into the night, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, obsession, and revenge.
