False
by Mel Wallis de Vries
Description
Four friends are staying in a secluded cottage; one by one, they disappear…
During the Christmas holidays, Abby, Kim, Pippa and Fay go to a cottage in the Belgian Ardennes, where they get snowed in. There is no electricity, the mobile network is down and the nearest house is a few kilometres away. The girls have a good laugh about their situation. Until Kim disappears. When Fay disappears too and they find a trail of blood in the snow, concern turns into fear. Pippa and Abby can’t go anywhere because of the bad weather. Who has it in for them? And does this group of friends really know each other as well as they think?
