The Reunion

When old friends Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack reunite to attend their friend Ed''s 10-year memorial, they are less than enthused. Not least because it will be hosted by Ed''s mother, Mary, at her isolated farm in the bush. They''ve barely seen each other since they were teenagers, but perhaps reconnecting is what they all need - an opportunity to move on from Ed''s death. But Mary has other plans for them. Convinced that something sinister happened on that fateful hike ten years ago, she is looking to dredge up the past and get some answers. It soon becomes clear to the five friends that Mary will do almost anything to uncover the truth . . . and as temperatures and tensions rise, they realise the danger they''re in. With their survival at stake, the group must decide whether they''re willing to confront the past and the secrets they swore to keep.

Auteur

Bronwyn Rivers grew up in Newcastle, New South Wales with the mystery-novel gateway drugs of The Famous Five and Trixie Belden, before developing a solid addiction to Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and PD James. She moved to the UK to take a doctorate on nineteenth-century women's novels at Oxford, and was an academic researcher and book reviewer in England and Australia, before admitting that she actually wanted to write the fiction rather than analyse it.

When not reading or writing novels, she tries to spend as much time as possible walking or swimming in the Australian natural landscapes that form the settings for her work. This usually requires an excursion from her home in inner Sydney, where she now lives with her husband and two children.
