1.0
I didn't enjoy this. I found the characters annoying beyond belief and had no sympathy for them after what happened.
Three couples, four who have known one another since school, go away for a long weekend. This is just illogical after what had happened at school is revealed. Why they were still in contact is just ridiculous and why I found this so un-enjoyable. Only three people returned alive. Which leads to another problem with this book. It's told in the present and the past. However, the couples are only referred to by their surname when told in the present and their christian name in the past and there is no connection between the names. This is why the victims are not revealed until well past 80% of the book, but there is still an investigation going on. It's all so annoying.
I won't say anything about the police investigation of the crime as she was just annoying as the victims.
The book has subsequently been re-released as The Wife Swap which says a lot about what this book is about.
