"Four Friends Reconnect For a Weekend of Murder at a Luxurious South African Safari Lodge"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Wild Girls

Thriller

Something disastrous happened one night two years ago that made Grace, Felicity, Alice, and Hannah stop hanging out.  Something wicked broke their tight bond of friendship, and all of them feel the fallout.  When Felicity reaches out with an invitation to her thirtieth birthday party at a safari lodge in South Africa, the girls jump at the chance to reconnect.  Little do they know that someone has different plans for the group in THE WILD GIRLS.


The women arrive in South Africa and are transported to an empty safari lodge.  Felicity is nowhere in sight, and it isn’t long before the women realize something is not quite right.  They are isolated in the lodge with no means of leaving and a vast array of deadly creatures lie outside the lodge’s gates.  Their cell phone reception is spotty and cryptic notes are placed on their doors.  There is food in the dining room, but no signs of a house staff.   Whose game are they playing? 


Each woman is hiding a secret.  Some secrets turn out to be worse than others.  They all share a secret that impacted one woman’s entire existence.  As the weekend continues, someone will take their chance to avenge the past.  Quiet Grace will step up, sensible Hannah will lose her bearings, beautiful Alice will face her deception, and fun-loving Felicity is still nowhere to be found.  Is the real terror outside the lodge’s gates?  Or inside?

SUMMARY

FOUR FRIENDS. A LUXURY RETREAT. IT’S GOING TO BE MURDER.

It’s been years since Grace, Felicity, Alice, and Hannah were together. The “Wild Girls,” as they were once called, are no longer so wild. Alice is a teacher. Hannah has a new baby. Grace is a homebody. Only Felicity seems to have retained her former spark.

Then Felicity invites them all on the weekend of a lifetime—a birthday bash in Botswana. It will be a chance to have fun and rekindle their once bomb-proof friendship… and finally put that one horrible night, all those years ago, behind them for good.

But soon after arriving at the luxury safari lodge, a feeling of unease settles over them. There’s no sign of the party that was promised. There’s no phone signal. They are on their own… and things start to go very, very wrong. 

A fresh approach to the classic locked-room mystery, The Wild Girls is sure to appeal to fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.
