Love a good slow-burn thrill read!
A Death At The Party opens with a death (yes, at a party), then backtracks into what led to the event.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and Netgalley for my eARC for review!
Canadian author Amy Stuart's latest novel starts off simply enough - Nadine Walsh is holding a lavish party at her home to honour the 60th birthday of her author mother, Marilyn Mallay.
As with any great thriller, this is not the way things remain.
Throughout the day of the party, we are taken into the web of events and deceits that will lead to the title; back to the death of Nadine's teenaged aunt Colleen 30 years earlier.
Glints of unreliability arise, and reveals along the way leave many questions as to who will meet their demise, why, and by whose hand.
Recommended!
For release on March 7.
