I love a good thriller/mystery and this story hits so many of the my buttons, it is no wonder it was highly rated in the reviews. With a hard copy version coming out soon, I was able to review this twisty story; a first in a new series: DC Morgan.
Read my complete review below and get ready for a great read!
The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh
Publisher: Sourcebooks Landmark (November 8, 2022)
ISBN-13: 978-1728250960
OVERVIEW:
At midnight, one of them is dead. By morning, all of them are suspects.
It’s the party to end all parties….but not everyone is here to celebrate.
On New Year’s Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of guests. His vacation homes on Mirror Lake are a success, and he’s generously invited the village to drink champagne with their wealthy new neighbors.
But by midnight, Rhys will be floating dead in the freezing waters of the lake.
On New Year’s Day, Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbors, friends and family―and Ffion has her own secrets to protect.
With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn’t who wanted Rhys dead…but who finally killed him.
In a village with this many secrets, murder is just the beginning.
The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh Review
I love the part of the synopsis that said “…the question isn’t who wanted Rhys dead…but who finally killed him.” That is exactly what we go through in the book – finding the who!
We are introduced to the main characters in a bang-up way! And the hits just keep on coming!
Macintosh spins The Last Party in a whirl of directions and throws in so many surprises that you totally do not see coming! She really keeps us on our toes throughout with redirection and then laces in bits of humor hidden in the recesses of the dry police crime procedures. She even throws in characters you love to hate! Yesss!
Through her fabulous storytelling ability, she crafts a compelling book that shows off her twisted brilliance as she spins us around the theories. Then she caps it off with a bomb blast that leaves you wondering what the heck….
Hang on for this ride!
5 STARS!
