April Coutts-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford. Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the second, April was dead. Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide… including a murder. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of One by One returns with an unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder.

Ten years ago April was murdered in her dorm room on the prestigious campus of Oxford. Her roommate, Hannah, gave the witness testimony that convicted John Neville, college porter, of murder. Now after Neville’s death, a journalist has stirred the pot. Was Neville really guilty, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? Hannah is forced to go back and remember the days leading up to her best friend’s murder and could possibly find something she didn’t want to know.
Wow this book was incredible! I finished it about a week ago and still can’t get it out of my head. As always, Ruth Ware sets the tone for a perfect thriller. A group of really smart, cool college kids with lots of drama between them and a mysterious, old college campus. It’s truly the perfect setting! I loved everything about this book. It was so twisty, unpredictable, and realistic. I thought I had it figured out, but nope! I never saw that ending coming. It’s a book that I can see myself rereading just so I can see the clues I missed along the way. What an amazing book!
