![]() They find an old house, but it is not the overnight salvation and degree-of-comfort they are seeking. ![]() The friends decide to take a shortcut through the forest and, unsurprisingly, get lost. ![]() The guys have wives, kids, careers (or a lack of all three in Luke’s case), and we soon learn that the group has become fractured – certain group members see each other more than others, and some don’t see others at all. Meeting in their university days, the trip is intended as a proper reunion for the group, a chance to reminisce about the old times, indulge in some nostalgia and enjoy each other’s company, but things are different now. However, it immediately transpires that two of the characters are struggling – they have not prepared properly for the trip, ignoring advice about going to the gym and increasing their fitness levels, and are now paying for it. We’re introduced to a group of old friends (Hutch, Luke, Dom and Phil), who are in the Scandinavian wilderness for a walking holiday. The Ritual is a gripping helter-skelter ride from the first page, where the reader is thrown headfirst into a nightmare-like situation. ![]()
