About the Book
Donna Weaver has put everything she has into restoring The Breakers, an old bed and breakfast on a remote stretch of beach in Galloway. Now it sits waiting—freshly painted, richly furnished, filled with flowers—for the first guests to arrive.
But Donna’s guests, a contentious group of estranged cousins, soon realize that they’ve been here before, years ago. Decades have passed, but that night still haunts them: a sixteenth birthday party that started with peach schnapps and ended with a girl walking into the sea.
Each of them had made a vow of silence: “lock it in a box, stitch my lips, and go to my grave.”
But now someone has broken the pact. Amid the home-baked scones and lavish rooms, someone is playing games, locking boxes, stitching lips. And before the weekend is over, at least one of them will go to their grave.
My Review
Go To My Grave, while an interesting read, was also a bit challenging to get through. I enjoyed the setting of The Breakers, the bed and breakfast on the beach in Galloway. The characters were a bit hard to keep track of, in part because there were so many, but there was also an incestuous vibe to the while book that was a bit off-putting for me. The mystery aspect I found intriguing and how the pace would switch from past to present, but the overall storyline also felt very long and drug out for me. The ending where things start to click together was the most interesting part of the novel, and it was pretty rushed and then just abruptly ended, and I still had a lot of questions. Overall, I put the book down feeling a little icky, to be honest, but also a little confused as to what I had just read.
