The invitation you don’t want to receive… A group of old friends gather in a beautiful house by the river in Barnes, for a dinner party. They’ve barely each other since they left Oxford twenty years ago, and they don’t like to look back on those days so much. As we find out, their student flatmate, Henry Bellinger, died one night on the eve of the Boat Race. All five have been invited to attend a memorial for Henry the following day, and they’re finally ready to reminisce over some good claret and excellent food. But there’s more than that on the menu… Over three decadent courses, dark secrets and unhappy truths about their time at Oxford will come spilling out, and each guest will reveal something they’ve never said before about the night Henry died. All of them are guilty of something, and one of them is guilty of murder.
