THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EIGHT delivers several hard-earned “wow-factor” twists. And Singh’s “New Zealand noir” genre allows for the perfect gothic tropes: a sprawling, dilapidated mansion—complete with secret passageways and compartments–in New Zealand’s treacherous Southern Alps; an almost obsessive protagonist with a secret of her own; and numerous red herrings.
The story centers around seven friend who reunite for a week in a remote mansion. But the passage of time has wrought difficult changes—including the death of one of their own, Bea, nine years ago. Luna Wylie arrives at the crumbling mansion with a ticking time bomb: she is slowly going blind. But before she loses all sight, she’s determined to set her long-burning questions to rest—what exactly happened with Bea’s death almost a decade ago?
