In 1995, six university students moved into the house at 215 Caldwell Street. Months later, one of them was found dead on the sofa the morning after their end-of-year party. His death was ruled an accident by the police. The remaining five all knew it wasn’t, and though they went on with their lives, the truth of what happened to their sixth housemate couldn’t stay buried forever.

Twenty years later, all five of them arrive - lured separately under various pretenses - at Wolfheather House, a crumbling, secluded mansion on the Scottish isle of Doon. Trapped inside with no way out and no signal to the outside world, the now 40-somethings fight each other - and the unknown mastermind behind their gathering - as they confront the role they played in their housemate’s death. They are given one choice: confess to their crimes or die.

I've now read quite a few books, by a number of different authors, that fit into the same overall genre as this one. The overwhelming majority of them pale in comparison! They Did Bad Things is excellent throughout, including its ending (vs. that of many of its competitors). The plotting is excellent; the characters, their thoughts and their actions are very realistic (I'm speaking as a Criminology and Psychology expert, here); and the pacing is excellent. Really, I can't think of a single criticism I could make! :-D

One of the best in its genre
