The Christmas Party: An absolutely addictive psychological thriller with a jaw dropping twist (The Bailey family psychological thrillers)

On a dark and stormy December night my family are gathered at an isolated hotel in the English countryside. We're reuniting for the first time since the accident that shattered our lives ten years ago.

It's a time for love and forgiveness. But more than one guest has an ulterior motive:

The perfect daughter

The alcoholic

The single mother

The liar

The handsome husband

The adulterer

The beautiful sister

The jealous sibling

The murderer...

As the clock strikes midnight, one member of our party is found dead at the foot of the grand marble staircase.

Everyone is a suspect. But which one of us is a killer?

The Christmas Party by Mikayla Davids was my book club's December "Christmas thriller" pick, and had no idea what I was walking into! From the very first page, this book grabbed my attention and didn't let go even stayed up late just to finish it. The pacing is sharp, and the suspense keeps you flipping pages. While there are quite a few characters to keep track of, once you settle into who's who, the whodunit mystery really kicks in and keeps you guessing until the end. was also thrilled to find out that this is the first book in the Bailey Sisters series but it also left me wondering... how could things possibly get any worse?

It was really good!!! Took a little longer for the body part than I expected though.. and then it felt RUSHED and left you thinking there was going to be another incident.
