The Reunion – Guillaume Musso

Well it is 2024!

This year, I have decided to finally focus on building this blog properly. I want it to be a list of curated books I really enjoyed. I have a huge list and I have been sending them out via the newsletter but I haven’t spent much time on the website yet. So, my new year resolution is to post a recommendation here every Thursday NZ time.

First one up is actually a translation from a book that was a bestseller in France.

The Reunion – Guillaume Musso

Very atmospheric ‘reunion mystery’ with plenty of plot twists

Twenty-five years ago, on a campus paralyzed by a snowstorm, beautiful 19-year-old Vinca Rockwell ran away with her philosophy teacher after they began a secret affair. For Vinca, “love is everything or nothing.”

She is never seen again.

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 page.

A glamorous prep school girl goes missing after a love affair with a teacher in this “immensely satisfying” thriller from France’s #1 bestselling novelist (Harlan Coben)
