The Invite

By: Irina Shapiro

Narrated by: Elise Roth, Greg Lockett

Three years ago, Lexie destroyed their friendship group with a single, unforgivable act. Now she’s bringing them all back together. And someone’s going to pay…

On a cold October night, a group of old college friends arrive at a fog-shrouded lakehouse, summoned by a curious email that reads more like a threat than an invitation. From the woman no one has spoken to for three years.

There’s the cynical best friend, the anguished fiancé, the careless player, the lost follower, the quiet survivor. Each with a secret they’d kill to protect.

But as soon as they gather, old resentments start to bubble up, and tensions are running high by the time the friends finally stumble to bed.

And the next morning, there is a body floating in the dark water…

A dark, deadly story that will consume you until the final perfect twist. Fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Alice Feeney will be hooked.

Could not finish

My husband and I were just bored. It was too slow and I couldn’t see the next 6 hours getting any better.

“A Surprising Miss From This Author"

If her name weren’t plastered on the cover, I’d assume someone else wrote this — and not in a fun ghostwriter‑mystery kind of way. The characters are flat and act like they’re stuck in permanent freshman year. The plot feels like it wandered in from a middle‑school creative writing class.

Do yourself a favor and save your credit for something that doesn’t make you question your life choices.
