One of the Girls

Lexi is getting married, and the six of them — old friends, new friends, and the groom's sister — fly out to the Greek island of Aegos for four nights of sunset swims, midnight cocktails and a villa above the sea. It is meant to be the best weekend of her life.

But the group is not what it looks like from the outside. Bella, the maid of honour, is still competing for a place she thinks is hers by right. Robyn is newly divorced with an infant at home. Eleanor, the groom's sister, has never fitted in. Fen, Ana — every one of them arrives carrying something they would rather nobody found out, and the heat and the drink and the enforced closeness pull it all loose.

Lucy Clarke's twisty psychological thriller cuts between the women's perspectives and the wreckage of what the weekend becomes, building toward the certainty that someone is determined this wedding will not happen — and that one of these women will not leave the island alive.
