About The Party: a gripping psychological thriller

This will be a party to remember. For all the wrong reasons. Ruth loves her life in London – she has a high-powered career and a handsome and successful fiancé. This Christmas she’s bringing him back to her home town to meet her family and school friends, one of whom, Holly Murphy, has a new baby. But, as the Christmas Eve party is in full swing, the unthinkable happens – Ruth drops the baby, injuring the little boy. Or did she? Ruth becomes convinced she didn’t cause the baby’s injuries, that they were inflicted before the party, that the Murphys are not the lovely family they appear to be. Determined to discover what really happened to the child, Ruth digs for the truth. And won’t stop even when she’s shunned by her old friends, alienated from her fiancé, and sacked from her dream job. But are her suspicions justified? Or is she in the grip of a deadly obsession that threatens to utterly destroy her perfect life? The Party – the gripping psychological thriller perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, K.L. Slater and Miranda Rijks. What readers are saying about The Party: “Omg! Such a breath of fresh air and finally an original storyline without all the "read it a million times before" plot twists and turns. I can't speak highly enough of it, I was absolutely hooked and loved every second of this one.” -Netgalley Reviewer “I happily gobbled this novel up … It kept me fully invested, unsure, doubtful and put me at the edge of my seat. I was completely enthralled.” -Caffeine Read Repeat “…gripping storyline with great characters and surprising revelations. The many twists and turns had me totally fooled and guessing right to the very end. One of those books once you start reading, you don't want to put down.” -Booksprout Reviewer “Had me turning pages at the speed of light, fast paced and gripping with well developed characters and full of mystery.” -Netgalley Reviewer “…brilliant, so many twists and turns, I didn't quite expect that ending. The story was very well-written and well thought out. …a fast-paced thriller and I couldn’t put it down, devoured in one day.” -Goodreads Reviewer “The characters are beautifully developed and the plot plays out at a pace. A real page turner.” -Netgalley Reviewer
