IT'S GOING TO BE A KILLER NIGHT...

It used to be an annual thing – the raucous New Year's party. But for Olivia, Bennett and their crowd of couple friends, the chaos of their thirties has totally challenged the definition of 'annual'. It's been a few years since the close friends were last... close. But this year is going to be different. The burnout, parenting stress, credit card debt, job drama, marriage troubles, addiction – they're going to set it all aside for the night. No, really. They swear.

Oh, except for the secrets. Every last person has one. But secrets are only as good as the people you trust to keep them, and when the wrong one slips out... Well, friends or not, that just might become motive for murder.

Everybody thinks they know their closest friends – until somebody winds up dead.

The New Year's Party is an unputdownable murder mystery that blends twisty suspense and a propulsive multi-POV storytelling with dark humour and a vibrant cast of characters. Perfect for readers of Lucy Foley, Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell, as well as fans of Knives Out, The Afterparty and The Residence.
