What is Close to Home about?
Clarence is dead. Was it a murder, suicide or something far more chilling? When the death of a popular classmate interrupts the privileged, indulgent lifestyle of a group of Cape Town university students - a life of partying, daytime drinking and sexual intrigue - some of the girls become obsessed with investigating what they believe to be a homicide. At first it's unclear whether their preoccupation with Clarence's death is a symptom of boredom, or whether they genuinely suspect one of their glamorous friends as a killer. But when two more deaths occur within their circle, it becomes apparent that the killing is just the beginning of a strange, chilling series of events that will uncover the once close-knit group's best-kept secrets. In the tradition of Bret Easton Ellis and Donna Tartt, Close to Home gives us an unsettling glimpse into the intimate workings of a group of affluent young people - charismatic, restless, and, as it turns out, deeply destructive to those around them.
