From Little Stack

As one of my most anticipated reads of the year, The Date certainly lived up to my expectations! This book is the perfect example of my favourite kind of thriller, the kind where you don’t see the twists coming, the kind where you are always questioning character motives. And the kind where you’re whisked off to a beautiful setting for a while! 

A year ago, Miles was charged with the murder of his date, and has just been acquitted. In a bid to get his freedom back and rebuild his life, he, his friends and his sister plan a trip to New Zealand. But things don’t go to plan. He’s being stalked, threatened, and this trip of a lifetime quickly turns into a nightmare situation. A twisty, tightly-plotted triumph of a debut that I could not put down, and I guarantee you won’t be able to either!

Publisher Description

What would you do if your first date ended in murder?

A year ago, after a perfect date, Miles Deverill was charged with murder. The handsome young actor became front-page news when he was accused of killing Caira Kennedy, a social worker he had just met that night.

Now acquitted, Miles can’t escape the past. He tries to rebuild his life, but journalists won’t leave him alone. And then the threatening messages start—in Caira's own voice: this is not over. Is she still alive or is someone playing a twisted game?

Desperate to escape, Miles joins friends on a remote road trip. But deep in an isolated forest, one of their group is murdered. Someone close to Miles knows exactly what happened on his date—and this time he has to face the truth. Guilty or innocent, there is nowhere left to run…
