Book Description
===================
Victoria Gosling’s Before the Ruins is a gripping, multilayered debut
in the tradition of Paula Hawkins and Tana French about four friends,
an abandoned manor, and one fateful night that will follow them for
the rest of their lives
That summer, there were four of them, all on the cusp of adulthood:
Andy, her boyfriend Marcus, her best friend Peter, and Em, whiling
away the hours in a deserted manor house with a rich, sordid history.
Sorely without the ambition and opportunities that her friends have
always counted on, Andy finds herself terrified of a future that will
take them all down very different paths. Her newfound fears make her
reckless, resulting in increasingly destructive behavior. Then David
shows up. Magnetic, worldly, and on the run from the police, David
presents an irresistible lure for both Andy and Peter, pitting the two
lifelong friends against each other for the first time. When the group
learns that a diamond necklace, stolen fifty years ago, might still be
somewhere on the manor grounds, the GameΓÇöhalf treasure hunt, half
friendly deceptionΓÇöbegins. But the Game becomes much bigger than the
necklace, growing to encompass years of secrets, lies, and,
ultimately, one terrible betrayal.
Decades later, Andy and Peter struggle to maintain their friendship,
meeting only to drink to the past and trying not to talk about what
happened at the manor. But when Peter goes missing, Andy is thrust
back to that summerΓÇöwith all of its frantic energy, yearning, and
lossΓÇöand the mysteries that still haven’t been solved.
