Description
The Last Time We Met is a story about a group of friends—Sophie, Ava, William, Finn, Adrian, Tess, Jacob, and Charlotte. In the past, William is found dead in the bathtub. In the present-day scenario, Ava invites everyone back to her house for a reunion dinner. What the friends don’t know is that Ava knows something about William’s murder. At the dinner, she gives everyone a box that holds a clue to the night that he died. Told in both the third person in the past and from Sophie, William’s fianceés, point of view in the present, readers learn what really happened to William and just how messed up each one of the friends is.
This book took a little while to get moving, and I became bored halfway through. The ending turned out to be quite satisfying and unexpected as the truth came out. The characters are all quirky, and it’s hard to determine who to trust, which is part of the draw of this book. The book is set in Malmö, so there is a different feel to the way people do things in comparison to the States. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to fans of the mystery game Clue.
