Party of Liars

A lavish Texas-sized Sweet Sixteen turns deadly in this twisty, pulse-pounding thriller a fresh, modern spin on the classic locked-room whodunnit.

It’s Sophie Matthews’s sixteenth birthday, and her father has spared no expense: an exclusive black-tie bash at his newly renovated cliffside mansion in the Texas Hill Country. Once rumored to be haunted, the sprawling estate is now hosting the party of the season, where secrets lurk as deep as the live oaks outside. But just before Sophie blows out the candles on her three-tiered red velvet cake, a body plunges from the balcony onto the glittering dance floor below.

The guest list is glittering and deadly:

• Dani: the self-doubting new stepmother haunted by a troubled past

• Órlaith: the superstitious Irish nanny who swears she feels the house’s dark energy

• Mikayla: the underestimated best friend who knows more than she lets on

• Kim: the vengeful ex-wife who’s never forgiven, or forgotten

• Plus a circle of toxic mean girls and a pair of watchful therapists with secrets of their own.

As the drinks flow, so do the lies. Everyone’s invited. Everyone’s a suspect. And in a house where appearances mean everything, no one is safe.

One guest is dead. Another is a killer. But who is the hunter and who is the prey?
